Hi Babak, I've been to Frontenac Park a couple of times, and when we're in Canada, we stay close to it but I've never seen one of these guys. I am definitely going to need to keep my eyes open more. This is a great shot. You have excellent exposure on the snake with very good colour and sharp detail. I like how you've caught him just sticking his head up from under those dead leaves. Excellent positioning on your part. Very nicely done.

Thanks, John

A very cool capture with a lovely low POV.

Well focused with excellent eye contact and curious expression.

Hi Babak

I love the low POV and the snake emerging from the leaves. Excellent DOF and good shapness. Nice work
