    This is one of my reptile/amphibian images from the IFC contest. This was from my blind on the stock tank. I had 4 different ribbon snakes hunting tadpoles in the tank.

    Nice shot. Clean Bg. The tongue gives a nice contrasting colour.

    This one is spectacular, Robert. Just the snake would have been an excellent image, but all the duckweed covering the snake's head puts this one way over the top for me.

    Another amazing image Dale! Agree with Steve about the duckweed making the image all the more special.

    A stunner. The forked tongue extended, the moss/leaves on its body/face, the clean BG & most of all, its pose.
    TFS.

    Stunning example of camo in the wild. The toungue is great.

    Great image. DOF, sharpness, and the hint of the eye standout to me.
