They said it all here Tom ! V.

Such bravery! I would have thought of the 500mm and all available doublers for this one! and look at the look in his eye.
James Prudente02-Jul-2008 14:35
He is a dandy Tom. Very fine image.
Carol Rollins01-Jul-2008 12:12
He's beautiful. This is an excellent, clear shot with super color and detail.
I keep looking for snakes here but haven't had the good fortune to see one yet this
season. Vote

Very cool shot, Tom! I love the yellows against the purples and blues of the stones.

You got a nice crisp, colorful shot of this guy, Tom. The tongue and piercing eye add to the effect of danger.
Simon Chandler01-Jul-2008 03:04
Excellent capture. Excellent composition to create a lively scene. v

Nicely captured image Tom. V. (I think I'll stick to our feathered friends though.)

Good shot, 300mm is great in such case, Vote :)

Tack-sharp scary image, Tom. I would have suggested your 500mm and 1.4x teleconverter for this shot! Vote
Jim Hill30-Jun-2008 20:04
Awesome Tom, gmv

Where there is one there are more!

Great capture, at 300mm must be safe enough :) V

Hope it wasn't in your back yard Tom. Yikes! Nice capture.

Terrific shot of this rattlesneck, Tom
Wouldn't like to be too close to it.

Best regards,

Nice shot Tom, I have never seen a diamondback in the field, let alone when I had a camera. Great image, your usual tack sharp. V
