Went for nice easy hike this past weekend at Willamette Mission Park near Salem. Not much to photograph as some of the better areas were still flooded but I managed to get a shot of this guy.
Comments/Criticism welcome and encouraged.
Too much grass so crop in closer.

Thanks for the advise! How's this look?
Dale, the first one is better. If you were to crop at all horizontally, I'd suggest cropping from the left so there's more breathing room for the head. It's a bit tight on the right in #2.
Overall I don't mind the "animal in its environment" look of the original post so much, but you do have options to crop a lot more vertically if you chose.
Really the only major criticism I have of the image is that the head is unfortunately soft. The eyes are so often the most important part to capture sharply when it comes to wildlife subjects, and this was obviously a near miss. I'm sure it was a difficult situation, with all the grass and a slender moving subject.
The colors are quite nice. Any idea what species?

Yeah, a little more space in front of his nose. You don't need the entire snake for people to know and appreciate what is in the photo.
