[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Elaphe quatuorlineata is a big and strong balkan snake, sometimes upgrows to 2.50m. It is non venomous and harmless. Comparing other species, E.quatuorlineata is a gentle snake and very easy to handle.

In the photo you can see its juvenile colours, as if it grows it takes a completely different form of a grey-brown colour and four dark lines-stripes running all over its length, but no spots.

With a little more depth, it could be the perfect snake shot.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Ilias

Great job on this classic serpent on a branch composition.
The POV is excellent and the DOF is well handled.
The snake pops right out at you.
Very well focused with goods texture detail.

Hi Ilias,
I see you like snakes! That's not so much the case for me, but this is nevertheless an interesting picture from an impressive POV!
Well done, Mike

Great! Temptation of Eva! Good framig and theme. Sadly the contrast between the snake and the sky is tremendous. You made it a good pic in spite of bad conditions!
