Tentacle snake

I was trying to get photos of these tentacle snakes at feeding time at the Miller Park Zoo. Had to use flash, what I did not realize at the time was water marks on the outside of the aquarium, which only showed up after I downloaded the images. I decided to try and darken as much of the image as possible to reduce them. Not sure how well it works. Next time I will be sure to clean the outside of the glass!

Wow, that's a nasty, prehistoric looking thing. Nice capture. I think the darkening worked. I don't see any marks on my monitor. A slight suggestion, I would clone out the red highlight peeking in from the RS. My eye is drawn over there.

Enter the dragon. This is really dramatic as presented John. I love that just the head and the meal are highlighted here. As Michael has pointed out, the one little red spot on the right should be cloned out or cropped out.
