Looking up to Devilish Hops

[D-B-J]

Just some wordplay. This is Chapman Falls on Eightmile river in Devils Hopyard state park. Attached is a photo of my helper as well.

This lil guy was hanging out with me for a bit. I think it's a northern water snake, but I'm not sure.

Clearly not as intriguing of a title as I hoped..

I'm thinking that the whirlpool shape you have in the second image has potential to be a good center-point for the image. In the first image, I'd consider cropping off the top 20% so that the upper edge of the frame would start at the upper rocks, as the trees above don't seem to add anything to that image. As for the snake, he/she seems to be smiling a bit "This pose work for you?".

As for the title, I look at all your stuff. You're trying different things, and it is interesting to see what you're up to next.

I like to keep it interesting, ya know?

Thanks for the critique. These aren't final images from this location. Today was more of a scouting day. I hope to go back when there's better light.

Based on your title and my lack of ability to look at the thread section... I was expecting a beer.

Still happy with the view, nice work man

*edit* - btw, asked a friend for you, it's an Eastern Milk Snake

Hmm, I had no idea! I'm not a snake ID pro, and I took a best guess.

Glad you like the images!

Yeah you know, after looking close and comparing myself I think he's wrong. The patterns and jaw line look more like the northern water snake

the waterfall pictures are nice but the foreground in each hurts the image. They look too different and superimposed. I think you could cut off the bottoms and have a great image in each.

Cut in closer to the falls? I try to add foreground for context and intrigue. I'll try cropping and post an example when I can. Thanks for your input!
