    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The snakes were shot with the Sigma 150 macro on a Canon 20D body.

    The others were with the Canon 70-200 f.4L.

    Thanks for looking!

    Wally-- very nice!!!! I do not like snakes-- in fact, I can't stand them-- but your photo brought that feeling through-- which in this case is good because it portrays the reptile very well. The cat is gorgeous-- very good series.thumb.gif
