Congrats to you! I remember when you posted that one here on the forum. I thought what a really well-timed and executed photo ( as always from you! ). You deserve to be recognised by a well-known organization.

Congrats on the win and that's a most excellent picture! I remember it from awhile back and I wondered then if you were laying down and waiting for action like that to happen without being spotted. Can you elaborate on how you went about getting that pic?

Thank you. I had been watching this bird for a few days because it was hanging around this pond. After watching it for a few days I got an idea how it was going to move. It was working this edge of the pond so I was able to sit and wait for it to work its way towards me. I got really fortunate that it moved into perfect light and caught the frog right in front of me.

Sounds like you worked hard to study your subject, and this helped you get the winning shot. Superb effort, beautiful shot - big congrats to you!

Thank you, I figured it was something like that. I tried something similar a little over an hour ago to get a good frontal shot of a turtle/'s. There's usually two of them in the same spot and when I got close to the spot they always sun bath in and lifted up to snap a pic I found they weren't there. I'll get'em next time.
