[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) was munching on a Common Toad (Bufo bufo). I liftet him up with a stick and the frog fell out. I thought the frog was dead. 1/2 hour later the toad was swimming happily away.

Hello Staale.
What a moment you caught. The snake really looks evil and the frog has given up. Very good light, colours and focus (at least on the snake). Great job.

Nice, well captured, you really did need the 1/500 second shutter speed! Works well how the background is not in focus!

Hi Staale

This is a very beautiful capture but i must advice you not to do that again. You ruined a perfectly good lunch for that poor snake :)
The shot it self is grat, with very nice sharp details ald lovely natural colors.

Cheers
