Hi Tony

An excellent image especially the great composition and good DoF, however I think it could do with a bit more colour saturation, did you upload with the colour space set to sRGB?

having loads of problems lately with colour changing when uploading despite converting to srgb, is this one any better?

Like both, not much in it. A good pic is a good pic.

Cheers,

good image I like it, the second one looks very much like the first to be honest

Think I prefer the second image Tony. A beautiful detailed image. I wish these would appear while I am waiting for Dragonflys!! :biggrin:

Tony excellent capture, second image just seems a little crisper to me :smile:

Very nice shot. The composition works well. Even though a lot of the snake is oof you can still get an impression of the whole thing. And of course the tongue flick is the icing.
