    It's concentrating on the frog and I don't think it has long to live. They seem to like frogs. I've watched them swallow them whole. Great image (a bit dark in spots thought) Perhaps a bit of Dodge would fix it.

      I think the caption added to the image . Thought he looked a bit small? Agree with Isac re dark spots. Nice one!

        G'day fellas

        yeah - it's a bit both ways with the image ... shooting against the very bright cloudy sky, I have already set EV +/- to +0,7 to overcome the metering inaccuracy from the bright background, and to brighten the shadows a bit, but it has washed out the breast feathers ... and the underside of the branches have remained dark as expected from the heavy shade

          It's a good image Phil and with some refined edits it does come up well without losing detail. I hope that's OK.

            Hi Isac

            Always okay to edit - and I well know of your excellent PS / pp techniques
