Congratulations Cay-Uwe!!!

The very shallow DOF here makes it look as if the snake's head is sticking its head out of the water or something. Very nice.

WOW! Magnificent! Even at 200 x1.4 that is too close for me, even if this is a harmless variety of tree snake! Congrats on the EP and bigger congrats on the National Geographic publication!!!!! Bravo!!!!
