Adder
Took a trip out to the woods as nice and sunny,the adders were taking advantage of the sun and found four basking on the verge,same place as last year,plenty of hissing going on so kept my distance.

Canon 20D,Sigma macro lens,ISO 200,1/125 sec, f22.

Cloned out annoying grass,usm in Photoshop CS2

Hi Barrie,

I was wondering how long it would be before someone else posted an Adder! :biggrin:

Lovely shot.

Regards Chris.

This is very nice.

I like the soft light, no harsh shadows.
I do think it needs a bit more sharpening, maybe it lost some when saved as a JPG.

Very nice indeed :toast:
