A great shot. Snakes are not usually so cooperative when it comes to posing. A well composed image with fantastic detail in the scales. Best of luck in the contest.

Wow! This is an outstanding image of the snake ! I can see every detail and the texture of its skin, spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is perfect! Colors and tones appear natural. Look at that clear eye! I like the way it is positioned among the dried Autumn leaves! This is an awesome composition ! Well presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!

Many thanks ,Sean, I?ve always loved snakes,I like picking up red-bellies,brown and green snakes,they tend to be quite calm and not apt to bite,love the way they feel. This guy,NO! Water snakes tend to be cranky,especially if they?ve been out sunning!
