I absolutely love the title and I got it right away without reading the notes first. Stunning clarity and detail make this one shine with or without the frog and his legs. Very well done, my friend.

Great vivid photo here.
Poor frog! Wrong place wrong time! Great capture though. Good clarity and natural colors. Great details in the bird wings and the moss hanging from the frogs legs. Nice entry .

Wow what an awesome find with the heron capturing a frog. Lighting is good showing the plumage of the heron nicely. The focus is sharp. Excellent find.

This is my laugh for the day! The bird looks as surprised as the frog! That is one large dinner portion! It surely happened quickly, so you get extra kudos for the fine focus. You should enter this in www.comedywildlifephoto.com. They have a contest going on now and submissions are free.

I have always liked frog legs and as a boy would rather catch frogs than fish. A beautiful heron with an excellent catch. Great detail throughout and beautiful colors.

Great capture of this heron with a meal in it's mouth! Your timing is perfect to show him holding the frog in his bill. The sharpness is excellent in the heron and frog. The background is blurred enough to make them stand out. The light and colors are lovely. Very well done!

Great shot here Fred. The capture of the Heron about to enjoy a delicacy is perfect. The focus is sharp, the lighting perfect and the entire image is wonderfully done. Nice work Fred ~ Steve

Wow! What a terrific capture. You were at the right place at the right time. The crispness of the photo is good, the feathers are colorful and defined. Your cropping is perfect, too. Good job.

WOW! Perfect timing for this dramatic scene. An exotic meal for this blue heron. Right exposure setting, showing clear and natural colors. The angle is superb, you have a good vantage point, capturing the facial expression and the frog . Well composed and well frame. I love it !
