First of all, I'd like to thank you guys for all the help you've given me so far - this forum is a great resource for me.

It was a nice warm, sunny day here in Ithaca, NY and I found this garter snake on a hike. Camera is a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 105 lens. I haven't edited/adjusted any of these images yet, because I'd like to hear some advice. No flash was used in any of these. Compressing the images in order to upload them made them look fuzzy, in reality they are all quite sharp.

This first shot is at f/5.6 1/250 of a second. I don't like how the head is shadowed, maybe flash would have helped?

Thank you,
Zach
