Went to 'White Rock Conservation Park' with a few members of the local camera club on Sunday, and found out that I am not as fit as I used to be.

While looking around the base of the rock one of the girls found this bloke sleeping,

And some interesting bark on one of the trees.

Sorry, I don't find these very inspiring. I think it has something to do with the midday sun casting harsh shadows.

Very brave of you to take the snake at 50mm and fill the frame, but the posture/lack of contrast between the snake and environment etc doesn't work for me.

I would be keen to see some shots done later during the day perhaps with longer shadows.

In the last one, if you were keen to show details on the bark, I would suggest an aperture of f8-10 rather than 4.

Keep em coming..

The snake image has potential, however given the difficulty in getting close and getting a more optimal composition I would be happy with that!

The second image shows good thought before pressing the shutter button, the image is nicely divided into thirds with each thirds having something special to hold interest. I think with some processing this image could come to life, first thought would be getting soem more light/colour out of the rocks and upping the contrast.
