I'll try to keep this snake thing goin' ;) This image was made out at Green Cay, FL, in the company of my wife Micah, my dad, and Jeff Nadler (although, I don't know where Jeff went while I was making this image).

The white bird set against that colorful background is eye catching. Snake, a bonus.

Hey overlord!!

Excellent exposure and wings position. The composition works very well and the snake is a nice plus!

Excellent work!

I like the pose and BG, the snack adds to it.

Great wingspan, Overlord! And to catch him with a snake, how cool. Where was I? Ah, I remember, feeding the Bountings....:)

[Glenn Bartley]

Really sweet! love the prey item and habitat.

Wow how cool is that. Great image.

If its a crop I would go more space on the bottom to give it an optical center instead of more room along the top. If its not a crop I would touch it.
