Snake eating a lizard near Ibor river, Cáceres (Extremadura, Spain)[edit]

Original - Snake eating a lizard near Ibor river, Spain.
Reason
it shows that this small snake can eat a prey with similar size. it's only focused the head of the snake and the postcranial part of the lizard because the rest doesn't contribute information about snake's diet. Scales of both animals can be seen in detail.

  • Oppose. I really like the image, but the depth of field is much too shallow. NauticaShades 15:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I don't like the fact that I can only see the front of the snake. If I could see like a diagonal view of the snake like 45 degree angle from the ground, it would be great. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 16:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Stopping down a step or two would have done so much for this picture; the halation would be greatly reduced, the DOF would be better, and the front bokeh would look much nicer (stopping down would get rid that highlighted edge in the OOF highlights). As is, the DOF is the real killer, although composition could be improved also by putting the snake's head farther to the right. You should also get an identification on the snake.
