Very very cool. I really like the tones, which I suspect you pushed (as I did with the oak leaves) and for me the result is beautiful. The textures are also wonderful, but perhaps my favorite thing about this is the way the snake curves into the frame and around that knothole which becomes a second, very large eye right in the middle of the frame. Thought: maybe a tiny crop right and bottom to further center that large green eye with its arched brow, maintaining the ratio?

Lovely colours and textures. The snake could be hard to spot in that environment. Well seen and photgraphed.

Yes, but not a lot and much has receded.

This answers the question I posted about flooding in the next image.. There is something that sorta looks like a big frog in the middle of the debris..

Gorgeous. I don't know if you intended this or not, but the placement of the crane reads to me like a bit of forced perspective--it almost looks like a bird perched on the rail of the bridge. Intentional or not, though, this composition has really nice balance and just a touch of modern "interruption" to offset the painterly "cliche" it might otherwise represent--which feels extremely true to your voice.

I also really like the bottom 2/3 of the frame. Love the reflected colors. For a title.... anyway you look at it..
