The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Here are a couple more watersnakes I found in the spillway pool last week. I think they are waiting for a fish to show in the spillway. I believe the top snake may be about ready to shed its skin since its eye looks rather cloudy and its scales appear duller than the snake on the bottom.

Specific Feedback

Any comments appreciated. I narrowed the aperture on this shot to get more DOF on the two snakes.

Fantastic capture! An opportunity that only happens on very rare occasions!

Well captured @Allen_Sparks ! - only minor suggestion would be to to darken the brighter areas above via a linear gradient
