Morteza:

I think that frog is toast, as they say!

Good timing, sharp. The whites look a bit grey to me, and I would push the exposure up by a quarter stop to get the whites a bit brighter.

In a perfect world, would prefer the bird be more turned towards us, with a bit more room top and bottom. This could easily work as a vertical comp, since all the attention is directed towards the eye/ bill/frog interaction.

Cheers

Randy

Great capture you got here, for you and for the egret, great control of expire and great definition, IMO the egret is a bit tight in the frame and a better HA would make it even better...

You got some good advice already. Great opportunity you had, and good call going low to the ground.
