I hate the hole concept of life beeing destroy to sustain one's life. but as a photographer this was a great moment.

He looks a little glum and resigned to the situation here.. very expressive image set in these beautiful surroundings. Great shot.

Agree with you Heather. The guy look kind of desperate to swallow the insect.. May be consider to let the insect fly away.

Description
I had a great opportunity to photo shoot the amazing escape by a flying insect that look like a bumble bee or a big wasp. Of course I missed the catch. When I notice someting moved on lilly pads the frog was kind of yarning with the mouth open. I started shooting then it become obvious that some big insect was trying to get out of there. I kept shooting how the frog will manage the problem. According to me there has been an escape but I have no proof. Between the last an the previous photo I stop shooting to change the focal distance from 300mm to 800mm.
