Slow Worm
Hi All,

Mum and Dad were doing some gardening at our place and they called me to say that they had discovered this. I reckon it had only just recently emerged because at first it was extremely dopey!

Techs:

Nikon D2X, 150mm macro, 1/100th F8, handheld.

Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Chris. :toast: :wavey:

Interestting shot Chris. I assume thats a patio slab or similar as a background. It compliments the Slow Worm nicely. :toast:

Hi Chris,

Very nice capture! I agree with the above comments - the BG compliments the subject and it does appear as graphicial composition!
