Nice to see all the snake Phil and it certainly looks different but it doesn't quite do it for me. I appreciate the head is sharp and I think I can see what you were aiming to do but the very narrow depth of field and the positioning of the snakes head so far down the frame just doesn't work for me. Just a personal opinion, and I'm certain others will disagree.

Nice sharp head, but I have to be honest, it doesn't do it for me sorry. No offence meant!
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:

Totally disagree with Robert! I love the narrow DOF. Works great for me.

Just doesn't really do it for me Phil, probably because the Oof parts of the snake totally dominate the image and dwarf the sharp head. I also find the sharp, in-focus strip of rock distracting as well. Sorry mate. A lower PoV might have made it work better, but I can understand why you might not have wanted to get down there with it!
