    Not sad if you are the egret... Wish that you could have gotten just a bit more to the right... Love the forlorn look on the frog's face. Good EXP. later and love, artie

    Good capture, I like the background and how the egret's eye stands out. I wish the egret had turned its head towards you though. I have noticed that they tend to turn away from you if they are aware of your presence. They're afraid you'll steal their meal.

    A head turn away from eternity :)

    Except for the head turning away, a blast of a picture, congrats!

    What got my attention was the frog's leg holding on to the egret. Only wish for a better head turn by the egret, but hey, the frog is looking straight on!! :-)

    The frog's expression says it all! Great capture!

    Because of the direct eye contact with the frog and not the bird, perhaps I should have put the image in the wildlife category and titled it, Frog with Great Egret. LOL Thank you, everyone, for your input!

    The eye contact between the two is saying it all. Too bad you were not a bit further to your right.
