Taken from my car window. Even though I know the bird needs to eat, I felt so sorry for the little frog. :( At least he is immortalized in this photo.
Big crop because the wide shot was too busy. Lost a lot of detail.
Used Topaz Adjust and Topaz Detail, adjusted color, burned, Noise Ninja to smooth. Hope the color is right as I am having trouble with this lately.
Not terribly happy with the photo presentation, but the moment captured was interesting.
WOW! I never thought this would ribbon with all the great photos in this challenge. Thank you soooo much!! :)

Dang girl. Congratulations. I kept expecting it but I didn't think it was going to happen when the week was up. Came in this morning to see who the new winners are and there you were. Awesome.
My husband (who loves these kinds of photos) says you should of named this "Aww Man" lol he also told me to pass along that he thinks its an exceptional image
Congratulations! It's a fantastic capture and an interesting peek into the cycle of life. The fact that it is well photographed and pped is another thing to be proud of.
Congratulations, Robin! What a moment. A sad one for the little frog, but you're right. The bird has to eat too. Congratulations on such a prestigious ribbon in a free study!
What a fantasic capture! Love the title too. The photo is technical excellent too. This photo has so much comercial potential. I expect to see this on the front page. Well done - 9
That's a superb shot. It took me aback when I first saw it.
I love the colours, the blurring, the reflections, the eyes and the absolute sense of power that's portrayed over the frog. If I could have voted I would have given 9/10.
The only thing I don't like is the capitalisation of every word in the title, but that's absolutely a personal thing.
Ohhhh. . . what an amazing wildlife photo. But I love frogs, so it makes me sad. Maybe when he opened his mouth to take a bite, he hopped out. I hope so. It IS an amazing photo tho! Fabulous capture!
Classic, Funny and Sad all rolled in one. Awesome shot. Wonderful complimentary colors. The POV tells a very drastic story from the big fat slimy frog's perspective. Now from the Tri-colored Heron's perspective it is a happy happy ending with a nice full stomach. What makes this photo is the fact it is not just a bird photo and it is not just a frog photo. It is a photo showing the natural order of things in nature. Well done.
