Southern Copperhead-Take two

[Jason Kinsey]

Here is another angle of the copperhead I posted last week (http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ern-Copperhead). C and C appreciated.

Nikon D200, 70-300mm @300mm, ISO 320, 1/180 s, f/8, touch of fill from on-camera SB800.

Nice...

I do the rattlers around here, but we don't have these guys!

Well done!

I like the perspective and DOF here, with the slinking body acting nicely to lead the eye to the sharp head :)

if anything I do wish the entire tongue was in focus, and I would add a touch of contrast using unsharp mask at 20%, 10px

Thanks for input guys. Morkel, I have been going back and forth on the tongue-part of me wishes it was sharp, but another part of me likes the sense of movement it adds.
