    Strong diagonal, with the snake's head and tongue mostly sharp, however the rest of the body is too overexposed and overuse of the S/H tool is also evident with resultant halos.

    Sorry Colin, with Marc on this one. Would like to have seen all in focus f/11 > f/16?

    Thanks guys, didn't have the time as it was on the move. It was that shot with the settings as they were or none. I will be more self critical in future :)

    Good job capturing a fleeting moment. We don't always have time to make as many adjustments re. dof as we would like at these times. Perhaps a tighter crop to eliminate some of the oof/bright body. TFS
