Dang girl. Congratulations. I kept expecting it but I didn't think it was going to happen when the week was up. Came in this morning to see who the new winners are and there you were. Awesome.

Oh my goodness! You were right!

I am happy to get the blue, but it's sad such a beautiful blue ribbon photo got disqualified.

Poor frog, but a beautiful capture

Photographer found comment helpful.

You should have got out of your car and saved that frog.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Hey, birds have to eat too, and frog legs are very tasty. :)

Congratulations, Robin! What a moment. A sad one for the little frog, but you're right. The bird has to eat too. Congratulations on such a prestigious ribbon in a free study!

Comments Made During the Challenge

Well captured. Wonderful expressions and title.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Extra point for title :) nice timing too on this shot.

Photographer found comment helpful.

oh no...makes me wanna grab that poor frog out of it's beak - awesome shot though!!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

What a fantasic capture! Love the title too. The photo is technical excellent too. This photo has so much comercial potential. I expect to see this on the front page. Well done - 9

Photographer found comment helpful.

That's a superb shot. It took me aback when I first saw it.

I love the colours, the blurring, the reflections, the eyes and the absolute sense of power that's portrayed over the frog. If I could have voted I would have given 9/10.

The only thing I don't like is the capitalisation of every word in the title, but that's absolutely a personal thing.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great catch of a Green Heron - at least I think it's a green heron .. wonderful detail in the frog too .. he knows he is dinner :(

Photographer found comment helpful.

Outstanding capture. One of the best "aw crap, I'm about to be eaten" pictures ever.

Photographer found comment helpful.

yikes! what a capture

Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the title :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture (for the bird and you)!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Ohhhh. . . what an amazing wildlife photo. But I love frogs, so it makes me sad. Maybe when he opened his mouth to take a bite, he hopped out. I hope so. It IS an amazing photo tho! Fabulous capture!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow fantastic timing. And poor frog :(

Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the title ( I liked the shot before the title as well). Great colors and timing.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Classic, Funny and Sad all rolled in one. Awesome shot. Wonderful complimentary colors. The POV tells a very drastic story from the big fat slimy frog's perspective. Now from the Tri-colored Heron's perspective it is a happy happy ending with a nice full stomach. What makes this photo is the fact it is not just a bird photo and it is not just a frog photo. It is a photo showing the natural order of things in nature. Well done.

Photographer found comment helpful.

lol, and wow : 10!

Photographer found comment helpful.

spectacular shot - much patience I assume to capture! congrats! 10/10...

Photographer found comment helpful.
