Ek bly weg van slange en spinnekoppe. Gerhardt you are very brave. It is an amzing shot through the glass jar. Good detail and no distortion from the glass. Well done

Excelente Gerhard... yo amo las serpientes y cada vez que es publicada una imagen de calidad como esta, me fascina poder disfrutarla.
Hermoso POV y encuadre con muy buena agudeza y un colorido y brillo realmente agradable.
Y un buen aporte del workshop para conocer al reptil completo.

A good shot and interesting write up. I love snakes. We used to catch sea snakes (banded coral snake) in Niue as kids. We had no idea how venomous they were.I sometimes wish we could have them in NZ, but our fragile ecosystems don't handle too many introduced species.

I like all poisonous creatures like spiders and snakes ;-) This one is very good captured, I like your story and WS, too, Gerhard.

Good work Gerhard, I think the jar has caused very little distortion. Great shot of a snake that I haven't seen before. Great note, thanks for posting.

Nice close up considering that there was an irregular glass between you and the snake. I would not like to fing this in my garden Gerhardt, I like snakes but not to be bitten by then. And some people say fungi are dangerous, less than this...

Why the glass jar :) Die rooi lippie is pragtig en skerp. I have a simaler creature ruuning about my house, my daughter, after she has played with my wifes makeup. Very well captured in a glass jar :) and the photo is also well captured with very good sharpness and exposure.

Gerhard, another brilliant photo. And a scaring one. The colors of the snake are very beautiful.

wow, what a snake, so close too!!!!!..... I just cannot imagine catching snakes..... here in Cambodia, there is a snake if it bites you: you bleed for days, then your body rots, and turns black..... often even with anti-venom. So they cut off the part where the snake bit. More people are killed by this one snake here, then land mines. I just keep away from snakes, (except an occasional snake charmer cobra, and many snake charmers are killed every year also by cobras). I give your wife lots of credit too!
