thank Kiwi.......sometimes, even the mistakes can be of use........I have learned not to throw anything away now, unless it is quite obviously no good........

thts good to hear author.. Even I've started doing that..

Definitely one of the best. GL!

Congratulations.. The best and beautiful..

CREATIVE , UNIQUE! Wonderfull, I LOVE IT!!

nice capture! very sharp.

Very cool, its just a little Garter snake isnt it? Somehow the picture make it look so much bigger. Great Job

You know, we learn at school the differences between venomous snakes and non-venomous ones. The eyes, head shape, tale shape, fangs... But I don't wanna know, if I face one of them, I'll run quickly!

This is really beautiful, Love the DOF

Great shot well done, really like the composition

excellent shot.. love the snake..

This is one of my favorites too. While shooting, I knew it was only a garter snake, but the closer I got, the less sure I was that it was non-venomous. Thanks for your comments.

haha.. good experience then..

excellent shot!

amazing shot!

Another awesome shot.......gl to you!!
