Cold…blooded.
Found this little guy just chilling out (no pun intended) near the shoreline of the frigid Mississippi yesterday.
Perfect timing !
Ohhhh…way more luck than timing, LOL. I’m sure glad digital processing is free ’cause my Recycle Bin runneth over 🙂
LOL ! They can’t all be gems, right ? If ‘talent’ were measured by posts alone, we are all masters !
Thanks…but this photo terrifies me. Not because it’s a snake – he’s harmless. Because it’s my first submission and the talent around here is WAYYYYYY out of my league, LOL.
I think you just joined the ‘league’ !
When I saw this I thought my mother would have dropped dead on the spot. She IS terrified of snakes !
Congrats on a winner of a first post !
Aw, thanks so much…I really appreciate that 😀
Well one thing’s for certain…I’ve seen a LOT of great stuff around here and the added bonus is everyone’s friendly willingness to share tips and theories and insight. It’s an awesome site 😀
LOL ! Yes, even some of the ‘pros’ !
Fantastic shot!
Thank you! He was quite a pleasant little fellow…and we both agreed that Spring is long overdue 😀
Hi Lisa. I love this shot. You’ve incorporated S-curves, which are inherrently attractive in composition, and the exposure & DoF look spot on – not to mention the unique & interesting subject.
You’re on a winner!
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I appreciate that, thank you!
Hey @rainyshoes, than you for your kind words. Welcome to the community! But this is a very good photograph. Caught a great moment with some interesting composition and some vivid colors. Congrats.
Thank you very much! I told my husband about the kind encouragement you folks have offered and he said “Well I know what it all REALLY means…you’ll be buying more photography equipment.” LOL
My husband had a grin and nodded in agreement !
