Rhonda....WOW!

My hubby is a retired Chiropractor so I was instantly drawn to this image and could see it they were spines of some sort because of the design.....

I really studied this image for a bit until I finally just had to see what kind of spines these were...at first I was thinking alligators...but WOW, snakes!

Love, Love, Love the curves, lines, colors, composition.....Seems like a BIG winner to me!

Hi Rhonda,

wow! This is a good photo. When I saw it in POTD I first read the title and thought "Oh it's probably going to be a winter photo or something." (It is very cold where I am today. Lol) Then I saw your photo and jeez! Shivers went up and down my spine haha. Thanks for entering this unsual photo so that we can all get the shivers. Wait that didn't come out right, so that we may enjoy your photography. ya that's better okay good bye now.
