    I have taken hundreds of images of Pk's with fish. Capturing one with a frog is a first for me. Image was taken in the Pilanesberg Game Park in the North West Province in South Africa, which is also referred to by some members on this site as my back yard.

    Beautifully executed, Loved the details and pose. the frog in the air adds well here.

    I would add a little space on top..

    Welcome. Excellent exposure and detail. The frog's posture makes me think of an acrobat/gymnast working the parallel bars :)

    Welcome to BPN Gerrie. Glad you came right with the membership, and the upload process. We are so used to these guys showing off with their fish, so this is sure a first for a whole lot of folk. Well timed to capture the toss up. The PK is well exposed, and pin sharp. Great first post, and looking forward to more.

    Welcome to BPN. Ditto the space. I also see some bg noise. Image looks a bit flat and for that i would add some contrast. Well done

    Welcome to BPN, Gerrie! Very nice first post, I like the sharpness, eye contact and the frog makes this one certainly special. I would give it a bit more space at the top and remove the dust spot in the lower left. I would lighten the parts in the shade a bit and maybe raise the color temperature a few degrees. Keep them coming!

    No the best light and a bit tight for my taste but the natural moment captured amazed me! Congratulations!
