Grand Canyon Rattlesnake.

Although this little girl was not found in the canyon, it is her namesake. these animals are known from within the canyon proper and it's tributaries.

I originally did this image in 04 will probably re-work it now that I have a little more post processing knowledge and see if I can get a little more out of it.

    Yeah I am with you on the rattle. Close would not be my concern, it was just poor use of DOF. Hey there is always this year!!!

    Super composition on this one. thumb.gif

    Agree it's a shame the rattle isn't pointing straight up, but these fellas aren't known for being cooperative. rolleyes1.gif
