[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When threatened, this timid species inflates its throat in a similar fashion to the highly venomous Boomslang and strikes out quite viciously. This snake is however harmless.

Hello Lee,
I like a lot your presentation here, the snake gets in focus just in the head, thanks to a very appropiate DOF used here.
The details on the snake are sharp and clear, and their colors, -all of them- great.
The composition is very well balanced.
Congratulations, welcome to TN, and I wish you a happy holidays!

Fine close capture of a species of snake new to me. This is sharp, well presented and has fine contrast in colours.

Nice animal.
Did you hold the snake's tail when you took the picture?
