Another from my recent session with a large, female Grass snake. So often people want that illusive tongue flick and since I have a few from this lady I thought why not share one.. So here she is..

Kind regards,

Brett :cool:

Hi Brett,

You certainly made the most of this encounter, a very different shot to the last and just as good!

Cheers,

Lewis.

You are just showing off now :cool:

Great shot, I love the way the light accentuates the shape of the head.

Love the tongue flick Brett. The blur in the tip makes it for me showing the movement well. Nice one!!
Hope to see you over the weekend?!
