Actually I love these critters. Don't know why but I do.

Shot this early last month on my trip to Florida at Wako.

Canon 1D MK II, Canon 600 F/4 IS "L" w/ 1.4 MK II Telextender - Gitzo 1325 - Kirk King Cobra - ISO 400 - 1/320 f8.

(Designed to look good on an Apple Cinema Display using Safari. Your milage may vary.)

Thanks for looking.

I like them, too. Very simple and nice. I sure could use that wonderful BG for a lot of my images this fall...beautiful colors. It looks good on an Apple Powerbook!!!

Lovely image Scott.

I can not think of a way to improve this.

Me too! Probably because they're very entertaining! I'm not sure about this crop but I love the BG! Great exposure & DOF.

Great details and nice eye contact - very nice!

A bit tight for my taste.

Nice one Scott. I'd be interested seeing this as a horizontal.

Looks good on my compaq work monitor too. I love how these guys get such interesting patterning on their backs in winter.

Regards,

Terry

Scott,

This is a very nice shot. Maybe just a little more room on the left and right would make it even better. Well done.
