that's a big snake, very nice photo

Big snake!

I wish that I could get back to Colorado again... haven't been there in almost ten years now, and it would be nice to see some of those places again now that I have a good camera to capture the images with (when I left there I had a 2MP Casio, I think)...

You took this with a sold lens? It's an older picture or you just sold it? What are you getting next?

Beautiful shot. You are so brave! I would have run away!

Wow! Very nice.

WOW! Very impressive, nice catch

Gophers beware......that is one impressive herp!
Not to be too critical, your DOF is great but your flash aim looks off a tad -

Wuzzitoya - I had to sell the lens due to a divorce. I hope to replace it sometime soon!!

CamFan01 - I was really struggling with glare coming off the snake if I pointed the flash up higher. What sucks is I owned a diffuser, but had left back in my motel room!!! AGGHHH!! I was trying to bounce off the rock but it wasn't working like I had hoped.

The snake was about 5' and was a beautiful speciman!

Bear Grylls would think its beautiful too.

Nice cature, looks big enough to be a python!
