Two great shots. I love the forked tongue with the perfect focus point and depth of field to make this photo sing.

And your composing and PP on the flowers is right on the money, too.

Thanks for sharing.

Two very good images Ric .... Have to agree with the comments about the spot on focus for "Mr. No-Shoulders" But flowers? We need to get you away from the Prairie!

Okay the flowers are really nice too! :clap

The flowers are out in abundance right now, Bob.:lust Makes waiting for something to shoot more of a pleasure than it already is.

Thanks!:D

Pose or get stomped! :rofl

Actually if you talk or sing...whatever to them, they will listen. Really.

When we were kids on a car trip out west (are we there yet?) we stopped at a wayside (didn't have interstates yet) by a brook somewhere desolate (Kansas, maybe). My brother and I were dangling our feet in the water and singin' our fool heads off. When we were called back, I went to grab my shoes and socks and there was a rattler with his tongue out. He did not act aggressive at all. I've noticed this behavior many times since.

Thanks, Dan.:D
