    Default Be Careful at Night

    From last summer. Out fishing and taking pictures along the riverside when I noticed a few water snakes moving about the surface of the water. Naturally I chased them down. After about 45 minutes taking their pictures and catching the snakes it got dark out. I ended up catching this last one and taking his picture. Does this work? I liked it, but have always been a little indecisive about it.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    Uah, this gives me the creeps. So it definetly works for me!

    I also appreciate the good work, chasing and rounding up snakes would already be too much for me probably, even if they aren't poisonous. But you also got the timing right and a strong composition with it. Awesome. I can't look at it too long though.

    I wonder if this could also work as b&w

    A painter takes their vision and makes it a reality. A photographer takes reality and makes it their vision.

    Snake phobia over here and looking at it made my skin crawl and hair stand up on the back of my neck so that qualifies in my book as excellence!
