    Default GBH with Entree (graphic)

    Coming back from St. Augustine, we stopped to check Viera Wetlands, since it was cloudy. We ran into our friend Luca, who's here from Italy and we spent a nice time together.
    Here's one of the catches today, he didn't stay around us too long, I supposed he was afraid we would take his protein meal away :eek:

    Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
    Lens (mm): 840 (600/4 plus 1.4X)
    ISO: 1000
    Aperture: 10
    Shutter: 1/800
    hand held leaning on a post.

    What a moment. SH and EXP perfect. The frog does not look happy. I am confused: was the frog named Luca? Or was the heron named Luca?? It could use a bit more contrast. I am not so sure about it needing a bit of CW rotation....

    Luca is a student we had in the Surf and Turf :) He is in the area for a week.
    Thanks for your input, I usually go easy on the contrast. I'll post another one with a different frog pose. I think IT was still alive :(

    Hi Fabs,

    re:

    Ah, that is probably why I thought that he was on the menu!

    He is in the area for a week. Thanks for your input, I usually go easy on the contrast. I'll post another one with a different frog pose. I think IT was still alive :(

    I do not like too much contrast either but this one could use some pop :)

    Yikes, looks painful. The soft light, composition and sharpness look great. Contrast looks good on my monitor.

    Yes, that is fairly graphic Fabs, also a very cool shot! Great exposure, details and brilliant innards. I'm no frogologist, but if I'm not mistaken, the heron is doing native frogs all across North America a huge favour because I think that is a Bullfrog.

    Cheers!

    Fabs I like this as posted. By the looks of the poor frog the GBH must have speared him first. Great job handheld.

    Oh my 600mm and no tripod? I have trouble with 2-400mm.
    I still can't believe they could swallow a meal that size.
    Nice shot.
