Surface Tension - a photo on Flickriver

Surface Tension

            This young and brightly colored Banded Water Snake was on the prowl for something to eat, it passed over probably 100 small bullfrogs, so I don't know what was on his menu, but it wasn't frogs. :) He slithered very nicely right in the good light for me. Anyway, this was another in the Marsh Series I have been doing, I have spent several days taking shots of all kinds of things. As far as "surface tension" goes, its amazing how much weight the water's surface can take before an object goes under, for instance the small floating leaf of the duckweed. :)
Taken with the 7dmkII camera and my Canon 400mm f/2.8 lens.
