Hey Mike, cool capture. Lucky for the skeeter, not so for the frog. :toast:

Man, I'm glad I clicked on this because the thumbnail doesn't do it justice. Really cool capture.

Nicely captured tension Mike. Really like how the frog is eyeing the mosquito.

Wow, Mike, this is a wonderful shot! I think the wide aperture really enhances this presentation by isolating both the frog's eye and the mosquito in your stack. Excellent work! :toast: :jump:
