Bullfrog "Rana catesbeiana"

The bullfrog is a large species in the family Ranidae; it can grow to a length of 20 cm (7.87 inches) with a weight of up to 750 g (1.65 pound), the largest frog in North America.[4] Females are typically larger than males. They are generally varying shades of green or brown, with dark brown, dark green, or black blotching and a yellow or white underside.

Bullfrogs will eat various types of animals, such as, insects, fish, snakes, birds and occasionally other frogs. Bullfrogs' hunting style is "sit and wait"; they will sit and wait for their prey to pass by, and then in a flash, will grab it with their tongue and eat it.

Bonsoir Lise, quelle photo superbe, wow, avec la réflexion de l'oeil dans l'eau en prime, c'est vraiment une belle réussite. Tout est parfait, le champ de profondeur, les belles couleurs, la luminosité, tout concoure à une vue parfaite de cette grenouille, très belle en plus. Merci!

This is absolutely stunning! The texture, the water, his eye (WOW on that alone), and the composition. I've yet to see a frog even though I hang around water..

When perfection is achieved, there's not much else to say, is there? Well done, my friend, well done.

Hello Lise,
Great close up of this bullfrog, excellent composition
and point of view, superb sharpness, nice textures in
the skin, lovely natural colors, nice reflections
and wonderfful details, especially that eye,
well done.

Bonjour Lise,
J'aime beaucoup le reflet de l'oeil dans l'eau et le point de vue, belle netteté et profondeur, le fond est un peu bruyant mais ca reste une belle prise
amicalement

Hola Lise,
precioso trabajo,
detalles y reflejos,
buen foco.
saludos

Hi Lise,
Despite bullfrog as a pest to some country, i must say that this a good shot. I notised the horrizon from the eye, cloudy sky with nice exposure. Not to mention the reflection from the water. Very good indeed.
