You're worried about me taking shots of snakes and you take shots of gators! SUPER YIKES!!!!! I'd be the one running with gators around! Thanks for the great Review My Friend! :o) Helvi

Comment from Envision
This is a great close up of the pattern of her scales. The face is nice and clear and the coloring shows very well. I can see by the round pupil that this is not a poisonous snake!

Hi Envision, I really wanted to get a close-up of the snake so you could see the eye and the scales. I'm glad you liked it.Thank you for the Great Review! :o) Nancy

Comment from Barbara L.
Great look at this snake! I like how the body is twined and the way the head is sticking out in full view. Excellent sharpness and detail throughout the photo.

Hi Barbara, I was happy I came across it. The snake was positioned beautifully for a great shot. I'm glad you thought I captured it well. Thank you for the great review! :o) Nancy

Comment from cleo85
The snake is well focused. The sharpness of detail is impressive. The colors are realistic. The tight framing is emphasizes the features of the animal, especial the head. The composition is balanced. The head is well positioned to gather our attention.

Hi Kelly, This one isn't poisonious and always slithers away if you don't approach quietly. I always keep an eye open and walk softly because I don't want to scare anything I come across. Thank you for the great review! :o) Nancy

Hi Galia, I don't mind getting close to a snake if it's not poisonous or a huge constrictor. This snake was nether of the two so I felt safe. Thanks for the great review. It means a lot that you liked this shot. :o) Nancy

Comment from Paul Stanner
I HATE snakes Helvi but you've managed to make this gal seem friendly. Are these snakes poisonous ? Please keep them coming.

I really don't do snakes, but this shot is wonderfully executed. I love how you've used the available light to bring out the detail and add depth and dimension. Great stuff.
