Post your best Macro shots

[Kayaker72]

Great shot. Interesting angle/composition.

This is a very small snake I found near my bird feeder in the back yard this afternoon, don't know the precise type of snake but it was very small and very docile

1DX
180mm macro + 1.4 TC
Natural light
ISO 3200
f/13
1/125

Yet, I notice that you still used a 180mm lens with a 1.4 TC .....
I'd have probably been at 400 mm.

Only for magnification....this little guy was only 6 inches long and smaller than a pencil in diameter....about the size of a large earthworm. I picked him up to pose him a few times and he didn't even try to bite me....as I said he was very docile....maybe just out from hibernation and kinda sluggish.

I am not afraid of snakes in general although a big one I would not attempt to handle so readily and I do recognize the local pit vipers. I think it may be a juvi King Snake because we have seen adults around in the past.

Oh yea, now give me the rest of the details - geez anyone would of course know..... just kidding - I haven't come across too many snakes in the wild prefer they go their way and I will go mine. Here in Florida a month or two ago there was a bounty on boa constrictors. Everyone was expecting these masses would go through the everglade and all but eradicate them. Something like 20 were brought in - snakes are experts in avoiding detection .

There is something engaging about them - at least you get'm to smile.

Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus). Cool little snakes. They do not get much bigger than a foot long. I found over 20 under a piece of tin last fall...along with five Copperheads.
