Snake in the grass

[Mike Tracy]

Well actually a short hedgerow. Waited what seemed like forever for him to stick his tongue out but he never did.

MKIII, EF500 @1.4x, 1/1250, f/7.1, ISO 800, background was a bright red suv 100 feet behind him.

Really like the color in the background and the detail in the snake. Maybe just a little more room on the bottom.

Way cool Mike !! Is that the side of a house? Glad it decided to pose for you !!!

Al, Mike says it's a bright red SUV, but adds an unusual bg all the same. Lovely eye on this and good DOF. I'm not much of a snake person, but I think this is a very nice image.

[Mike Fuhr]

The read SUV really makes this one pop. Nice detail as well.

[Steve Kaluski]

Nice pose with a very striking BG.

Thanks Hilary ... not sure how I missed that !!! .... when going after burrowing owls we use houses as bg .. and some cars also !!!

[Danny J Brown]

Beautiful pose and image, Mike. The eye on that critter is just beautiful with its red detail. Hey we are starting "snake week!"
