That is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime shot, very rare and amazing.
I can't believe that the spider web can hold the weight of the frog.
Great reflex on your part. I am sure that the window of opportunity was very small.
Wonderful POV and pose.
TFS. : )

Hi Graeme

Fanatastic shot of this great looking Frog, very nice composition and a great POV, I love the pose with him Hanging onto the Spiders Web, especially his little toe curled around one of the strands, superb details and excellent colours that are perfectly complimented by the black BG.

Amazing! This just goes to show how incredibly strong spider silk really is. Great capture, Graeme!

Hello Graeme,

WOW! Incredible picture of a frog maintained by a spider web!!! You had to be at the good place at the good moment but still, you had to be very quick on the camera button!!! I'm very impressed as the frog did not stay like that for long!!! That give us also a good idea of the robustness of a spider orb! Great picture and TFS,

Michel

Hi Graeme

You where very fortunate to be at the right place at the right time.
Amazing how strong the web is, to hold that tiny frog. I have seen a snake caught in spiders web, the spider ate its fill for a couple of days and eventualy the snake died (On TV). You might have seen it on as well.

Hi Graeme

A truly magnificent shot showing very interesting frog behaviour and the super strength of a spider web. Well seen and captured. Talk about being at the right place on the right time.

I really like your composition with the acrobatic frog hanging on for dear life, but he would probably be better of to let go (for dear life) before Mr. (or Ms.) Spider appears on the scene. (The other day they showed a video on 50/50 about a spider that was busy eating a house snake, bit-by-bit, so a little froggy should not pose too much problems for a hungry arachnid.) The colour saturation is good, the details are sharp and well covered by the range of the DOF, the dark BG is stunning as it enhanced the frog very well, and the exposure was absolutely spot-on.

Excellent work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
