I have not been around lately. I was doing feild work and did not have internet for the last three months. While I was gone I did get to go to Panama and look for some new critters including this eyelash viper. This one was taken at night with Canon 40d. Twin flash manual, f18 @1/160th with a 100mm macro. Let me know what you think.
Its a beautiful reptile...
Nicely chosen DOF. The flash reflections from the coiled sections of its body (just below its head) is bit distracting though. Wondering if you could tone them down a little bit.
Will look fwd to see many more images from your trip... :)

I like it. It sure says "night." You might consider cropping a bunch from the left... Am curious as to whether the snake was free and wild.
