I was standing on a floating dock and after finishing the shot I was about to walk back across the ramp to the shore. I saw something floating in the water and thought it was a snake that had been chopped in half by the ferry. Upon looking at it closely with my 200mm lens I realized it was a big copperhead. It was looking right at me and began swimming back to where I was standing. A rather evil looking fellow, red eyes and all. I have uploaded a scan at: http://www.mcclary.net/snake.jpg The photo was made with EOS 1n and 70-200 2.8L on velvia - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
