I took this at the Jacksonville Zoo. I'm not sure what kind of snake that it is. Actually I didn't expect it to come out very well as it was taken in the reptile house and the lighting was poor so I didn't write anything down. I was using a D100 with a Tamron 28-300 lens.
I like the picture because the limb leads you right to the snakes eye. What do you think. All coments are welcome.

    I think it came out well. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised when you get home:D. Good colors and it's face is nice and clear. IMHO, a crop that had more of the body would have been nice (ie, expanded in the upper rt corner).

    Thanks,
    Yes sometimes things work out but with me I usually think that I have a good picture and when I get home I look at it and say "What happened here????"

    there are rough and smooth green snakes but both have a under belly color and yours looks green ne_nau.gif so maybe a green tree boa headscratch.gif size has a lot to do with it
