Yuck. I really hate snakes.

But, aside from that, this is a great capture.

Love it. The title is total synchronicity with what I was just thinking. Looks like a simple garter snake, what's he doing trying to eat a frog? The focus and clarity is superb.

Ouchies... nice find... reminds me of when a snake came and tried to drag away a trout I had just caught, but it was too heavy! Hah. On a photographic level, great focus and DoF, gl
