    Fantastic shot. I like the head turned towards the camera.

    The look on the Kite's face and the seemingly helpless position of the frog put this one over the top for me. Good job with a tough EXP in challenging light.

    Very cool shot Jim. I love the direct gaze of the kite and the diamond shape of the frog's legs.

    The orange legs of the frog makes it so interesting. Amazing action as always!
