Hi Andy....
This is what I like about a slightly
under exposed image..
it lends itself to such a nice deep and rich colouration.
Excellent compo I might add.
Besides the exciting subject material.
Nice work..

Hi Andy I have a dead snake in jar, my cats caught it and decided to bring it in to show me

bless their furry little butts

Ohhhhhhh they didn't bother to find out that it was a poisonous snake NOPE they just brought it in to show me.....how they didn't get killed by it I don't know, and lucky for me it was dead when I got home.....the thought of having a deadly snake inside the house never crossed my mind.

My brother has a licence to keep Snakes, I don't mind seeing them in an enclosure, but they are not exactly what I call a loving pet.

Great capture on your part

hey and thanks for the link on the Trip and head......I have them on my Wish List at B&H
