Rita, this one is a beauty!! Very menacing and perfectly camouflaged. His head is almost invisible in front of his body. You could still keep that look while bringing out his head a bit more. Try duplicating the image and apply about 50% multiply blend. Then erase the effect from the head only and apply high pass filter to the head only as well.

Oh wow! That is way to close for me . . . even if it was through glass. I think this shot is great just the way it is. His eye is in perfect focus and the DOF is great. I'm curious to see Dale's suggestions . . .

Rita awesome shot thru glass. This isn't something you could get without a really nice telephoto otherwise. I really like the DOF and the comp. is nice as well. Will be curious to see Dales suggestions. This would also look neat as a pano if you are interested! :~)

Wow, Rita this is wonderful. You done a great job with the composition and kudos for the through the glass shot. I took a few images like this about 3 weeks ago and was disappointed, planning a re-shoot this week with a different lens. What lens did you use? Yours image is great. I like the DOF and your focus. Curious to see Dale's editing suggestions. ;) CC

Great focus and DOF Rita...I am joining the "curious to see Dale's suggestions" club too...I think that could actually be a spinoff club from the phellos since we all say that after every critique he writes!

ROFL @ Tony's suggestion of a spin off club! However, I think we want to keep Dale all to ourselves!! Rita... one one the neatest snake shots I have ever seen! Wonderfully done! I actually really like snakes... (as long as they are safely behind glass!!!!!)

LOL. Rita, I think I like your version better than mine. A bit dark even though the head is the same. Hmmm.

Joan - I am SO GLAD to know that I am in good company because that is a mistake that I make occasionally. Generally, at night when I am tired... And Rita - I think I like your original best. Shooting through glass is a real challenge for me. He is very cool.

I have to agree that this is way too close for me but an awesome shot!! I am curious as to what kind of suction cup you use on the end of the lens.

I love what the edits did! I think I favor the original crop over the pano one. :)
