Yummy fish dinner. Nice capture. Only thing is the colours make it uninteresting for me. Tones are reall close and leave the excitement wanting.

Okay, yuck. I hate snakes. But anyways, maybe more contrast would make this pop a little more. As it is, the colors are all similiar, making it hard to find something that really grabs you and pulls you. Including the snake.

I cant really tell what the snake is doing, plus the exposure is off.

Excellent capture! Something you would see in a wildlife magazine! Great job!

The colors are somewhat washed out due to the harsh lighting conditions, making it a little difficult to see what the snake is doing.

not quite sure what this snake has in its mouth, a fish I think, wish the snake had been more in focus also.

This is a great photo, however the colors of the subject(s)and the background are so similar that the subject doesn't "pop" out. Also the focus seem to be more on the fish than the snake. Maybe a more angled profile shot from the right would have served this picture better. (5)
