Very cool capture, Terry. From the images I've seen, Buffalo must have a great zoo. #1319540

Great colors and reflections. Reminds me of a trip I did on the Amazon River(unfortunately without a good camera). I bought an anaconda skull necklace at one of the villages and still have it! #8986158

I can't believe I missed this one, Terry! But so glad that BP rewarded it so I get to see it now. Fabulous capture - creepy subject, but a marvelous capture of him - the colors and tones are exquisite and the detail and clarity is spectacular - you can even see his expression, if snakes have expressions, that is. I'm sure we'll see this again!CONGRATULATIONS on another outstanding Finalist, and good luck in the next round! #9037329
