    Hi Everyone. I thought I'd give the leopard a break and post something totally different. This was a surprise sighting at Chobe, the snake was crossing the path and our tracker stopped and allowed us to get some shots. I wish that dried shrub was not there but the python chose that path, so couldn't help. Don't worry my leopard will be back! BTW we saw two leopards at Okavango, just for info.

    Hi Sanjeev - Glad to see you got such a variety of animals on your trip. Nice sharpness. Too bad you couldn't get out to get a lower pov on this one but understand the restrictions. If it were mine I would tame some of the brighter areas on the snake a little more.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev well i guess you had a great time with all your various sightings .
    Always great to see a snake at least for me , as far as i remember i have never seen a African python posted here since i am a member so i really enjoy it .
    I like the crop /comp and the colors are great . Overall i think the image is a tad too dark , like being underexposed .
    When i keep the shadow in mind under the snake , i would think this image was taken under bright sunlight so i would expect a brighter overall image , just my thoughts .

    Hi Sanjeev, not much more to add to the above, slightly 'lightening' the Midtones does help.
