Prince Charming?, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

The old story of the frog becoming a prince after being kissed by a princess is what this photo reminds me of. This frog (taken about the same time as my other frog shot) was spotted sitting on the lip of a rubbish bin of all places. I don't think he was looking for food inside of it, rather taking advantage of the elevation, awaiting an insect to fly by for dinner.

I hope you like it!

Hi Dan,
You must be raise a frog-club with Stef. He is now, in the H.C. Anderson year, in Denmark. So he must know all about the story of the frog and the princess. You can f.e. name it “the Kermit club”
