I think the last shot is pretty cool, it's like the turtle was watching a freak show.

Very nice snake images, Kyle. I am amazed that the snake took on such a large fish.

Were you filling in mid-day shadows with flash? Some of the exposures are a little too bright, and the fill flash is too apparent. If you could shoot earlier or later in the day you wouldn't need the flash as much or any at all.

Awesome pics, I agree, the snake pics are cool, never seen a snake eating that big a fish. I also really like #2.

Nice pics... I love the creative use of fill flash. Perhaps it is a personal taste thing, but would've liked it dialed down a little - perhaps -1 EV or so...
