Incredible shot - I'm surprised you got so much in focus at just f/11. I really love everything about this, sweet find.

Mike,
beautiful image with a great sense of timing. As Luke said, the DOF is excellent.

Really cool shot! Very unique scene and well captured. It seems really rare to see shots of frogs w/ prey, and the position of the frog on the flower makes this one a real winner IMO

Mike:
I must admit I did not see the frog in the thumbnail and so this was a surprise. Good timing, clarity and DOF.

Mike: This is a great day lily shot in its own right and then to have the frog and then to catch the aftermath of his meal . . . . What a great catch! Superb shot. >=))>
