Aspalutely fantastic Phil, I really like the shallow depth of field as it centres attention on the crisply detailed head, which is perfectly positioned in frame too! good work.

A fine shot, especially like the OOF coils, don't know how you can ly down when taking these shots a metre away.

Wonderful shot, great use og DOF :toast: :toast:

Nice work Phil, Glad you had such a good time... Like the DOF, it's not to everyones taste but the concentration on the head really works. I have many like it in my library but didn't have a place where people could appreciate them until this forum. Glad you guys introduced me. Look forward to catching up soon and hopefully I'll have some nice Boa shots after next week.. (as he rubs it in...) :wink:

Hi Phil,

Brilliant capture! Keep them coming, I love snake shots (especially as we don't have any over here!).

Another cracking adder shot, Phil. I like the dof, keeping the head sharp, and I like the way the body merges into the background.
