Following up on my black snake post in another forum, I thought this might interest some folks. Here's the original uncropped shot and an extreme crop of the snake's eye. Taken handheld at 140mm (~400mm equiv) at 1/100 sec and f/4.0. ISO 400. Pretty durned impressive lens I must say! I didn't realize at first, but the patterns in the eye are reflections of the overhanging trees.
