What an interesting capture! From the thumbnail, I thought he was leaping through the air. The blurred view of the blotchy pond bottom provides a great backdrop for this similarly marked frog. . . and a good camouflage too. Great DOF choice, lighting, comp. . .just a fine image, Howard!

The "honey hole" is one amazing place. Very well done action shot and focus.
Hope you got some rain this week

This is great Howard. From the thumbnail it looked like it was leaping. I really appreciate the shadow on the bottom of the pond. What a fun shot.

What a catch! From the thumb, I was expecting a mid-leap flash shot. Even after I opened it, it took a while before I realized it was a floater. The only real clue is the meniscus under the jaw, since the blurred hind legs could be either dof or underwater.

Wow Howard, I agree with the others - it truly is as if you caught it mid-leap - what a neat effect. Like it A LOT
