Mick Johnson is no stranger to the Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day, having had subjects from landscapes to MotoGP bike racing featured on POTD in the past. Mick's picture chosen today is hot off the press having been photographed just a few days ago and uploaded to the DPNow gallery just a few days ago. It's a close range shot of a heron and a rather unfortunate frog that is about to become a meal for this most elegant bird of UK waterways. And there is a story to tell about this picture, which is documented on the forum.
