Tissss Lunch

Good capture (pardon the pun). The producers of shows like “Wild Kingdom” would be proud of this shot. But I agree with your wife OMG.

Great capture! Everyone’s got to eat.

Hiya Simon.. I believe its called a Gardner Snake. I think this fellow will be taking a nap..

Excellent capture and an unique one too Chuck, prey are always swallowed head first!!

Ohhhhhhhhh Man, what a capture!! Sad but it’s a part of nature, that is hard to see sometimes!! Outstanding shot Chuck!!!!! :-))

Wow! Great capture! Gruesome yet compelling…

Unbelievable capture Chuck! Totally amazing clarity!!

Well I can sympathize with the frog looking unhappy, but that is one great shot. Not even slightly envious. Well done :)

Great capture :-)

Gulp! Fantastic show of the reality that goes on 24-7 on this planet.
Love how the eyes are so close…kudos on a great nature shot.

Stunning wildlife work!!

Wild kingdom is right! And I do agree with both you and your wife’s reactions. Seemly undecisive but actually I am not. I like seeing nature raw but it also gives me the shivers. However, that frog does seem to have a smile on his face! I give myself so you may live .. (perhaps that was his thought?)...

Judi

Wooow, amazing capture! This is too cool.

Ever notice how Frogs are always smiling ! I’m gonna tell those frogs tomorrow that they are lucky they don’t live where there are those nasty frog eatin creatures! Good timing and nice work!

Yes, this is a real WOW!! Amazing and excellent capture!

Great capture! Fantastic timing to get a picture of that :) Good work.

great shot!!!

Rich.

Very cool shot….Awesome detail…. But I am very glad it is U taking this Because I HATE SNAKES LOLOL Nice work

Oh my gosh, this is fantastic and sad, at the same time. =)

OMG indeed! Amazing shot and worth getting dirty for but no wonder you delayed lunch for a bit! So glad we don’t get snakes here

such an incredible sight …
at least he couldnt bite with his mouth full!
great capture

Great capture for you and I guess the snake too ! Mother nature at It’s best (-:

Wow! what more can I say-right time right place poor frog wasn’t though!! LOL

wow! what a catch foryou and the snake! great work!

you are good!

Awesome capture Chuck!! The frog doesn’t look all to happy though!

Wow! Great capture! . Nice concept.

Snake shots always amaze me but this is stunning both photoghraphically and in terms of a sighting. Well done!!!!!!!

Well I have to say I’m w/your wife on this one but then again ..it is the circle of life isn’t it.. lol Excellent capture Chuck

Wow!!!!! wow!!!!!

Whoa!!!! Great one! So sad, too! I’m a softy…

WOW, fantastic capture! I feel for both sides of the equation, while I feel empathy for the poor frog it is natures way and if the frog were still alive it would eating living things too!

Oh, and there is no situation where you should ever lose your copyright over an image you have taken – NG or not!

Ooohhh, gives me the shivers .. but a fantastic capture

ohhhh look at the frogs eyes! he is so frightened! omg….well, great shot, i would have taken this opportunity also, but, oh yuck!!

I thought Garden snakes were greenish brwn.. Oh no.. I have this snake in my small pond & this year.. most of my frogs are gone.. Yikes.. I did not know G.Snakes ate frogs of this size. Or at all for that matter.. Do all snakes swim>? Great shot by the way.. Fabulous really..

They have diffrent colors for diffrent parts of the country or world. Oh they eat night crawlers , Frogs, Toads.. Anything they can swallow. Snakes can move across water pretty darn fast.. I had one two years ago catch a gold fish out of the pond and it was weaving back and forth a foot over the water with it. I was inside the house and thought I was back in the 60’s seeing a gold fish fly over the pond back and forth.. The snake blended in so well.. LOL

Excellent wildlife action photo. Superb timing.

Excellent great work well caught shot

Amazing capture. Great work. Poor frog though lol!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Omg i am affraid of snakes?????????????
my God this is one in million….FANTASTIC

wow! what a well captured shot! everything about this is just right! great work!

wow cool!!
i would of screamed too
but took the photo like you!!!

great capture!!

wow…right moment…fantastic capture

The mark of a great photographer is to evoke emotion with his images. This one certainly got a reaction from me. Great shot (not so great for the poor frog though). Oh well, nature can be cruel, but it sure presents some wonderful photo-ops.

wonderful capture!!! I think I would have agreed with your wife!

Poor little frog, but what a super catch.

This is cool. The frog definitely doesn’t look happy…

what an amazing sight! and so well captured!

Good HEAVENS!! Truly an excellent capture!

So happy you stopped in and for your nice comment…

brave shot… i would see the snake and run!

incredible

bit gory but wonderful capture and opportunity

Amazing…it’s all been said but this is such a totally stunning image of nature at work!

A stunning sight and capture ! Incredible detail and well-defined colours ! A very rare photo opportunity and a great resulting image.

Great image,, all you can say is..”THATS LIFE” or supper..lol poor frog,, bet now he wishes he past up that last frog stool..

That is a terrific photo.

OMG, thats a National Geographic Moment, wow!

Kick Ass!

Just amazing image !

This is so cool ! ! ! ... I’ll have to show my wife.   :-)

wowsers is this an awesome catch!
my son and i were walking the flood zone earlier this summer when i hear what sounded like a kitten crying…ended up being a leopard frog who’s leg got snagged by a northern water snake…....i didn’t realize THIS till i picked UP the frog and noticed it’s…er…attachment.
the snake wasn’t very happy letting go but the frog got to live at least a few more min’s of life. :o)

wow…snakes are just amazing….....(as is ALL nature!) ...i was just watching a program about the Black Mamba…who is the only known snake? that can bite u in the face while still on the ground…......and here? i used to LIKE being short…lol

WOW, what a shot. Unbelievable timing! Great capture!!

Well this is the first photo of yours I have looked at and it is a “cracker” I love shots like this - the kind of thing you search for - I am happy to find a dragonfly muching on something - but this is just cool - dave

oh my god

YEAH :D

and thier eyes are both the same, like the snake is watching it, knowing its getting it
and the frog also knows it too haha gold!

What an incredible shot!!

looks like the frog is about to croak.

What an amazing capture Chuck!! I concur with Jerame!! Lol!!!

A beautiful natural capture with excellent detail. Top end nature photography. Well done velveteagle!

superb mate!

That is terrible to see.. poor frog. But I guess that’s how nature works.
Great shot Chuck!

circle of life…...nice capture of a “real” everyday occurrence outside the grocery store. – Dennis

Ok, now that I have stopped screaming and opened my eyes again. I HATE reptiles by the way. This must have been one exciting shot to take, The clarity is amazing. I would have dropped my camera and ran a mile.

Great Capture! Good job, it’s very interesting! You should submit that to National Geographic!
