    Good shooting, Blair. I like #3 for the colors.

    I feel your flash is set too strong. The output is overpowering IMO. Try working it at a reduced power to bring up the background ambient lighting. It will reduce the shadows created by the flash as well.

    Have to agree with the rest, all great images but my favourite is #1, love the light highlighting the eye, makes the the overall picture quite atmospheric.:thumbsup:

    Re: Snakes.......56k beware

    Absolutely beautiful photos.
    We visited a man yesterday who keeps snakes in cages in his house as a hobby. He's got an Egyptian cobra a Rinkhals spitting cobra some colourfully banded venemous (he taught me that you never say a snake is poisonous but that it's venemous), American snake and other snakes too. He took them out into the yard but even with my 12X zoom I couldn't get close enough!
