One of the few action captures that worked out of the Red-stripped Ribbon snake.
I like this for the matching rock layers of color..
F/5.6, 1/1000th, ISO 1000, 5DM2, 300mm f/2.8 + 2x ext. @ 1:40pm & light clouds, no flash.

Cool critter, Howard. I like that you caught the tongue in this shot, as well as the matching rock colors.

First thing that caught my eye, Howard, was the similarity between the colors and pattern of the snake and rock. Remarkable. I like the action and the pinpoint pof on the head/eyes notwithstanding the movement. Well captured.

Howard, you're having way too much fun with this snake. It's a nicely colorful species and in this case the snake's color and pattern are mimicked (or maybe it's the other way around) well by the middle of the stone. Good job getting so much of the snake sharp.
