Bellissima cattura di questo serpente, eccellente POV, molto bella la composizione con i particolari dell'occhio e la prospettiva della lunghezza, ottima nitidezza e straordinaria definizione della "texture" della pelle, molto belli i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Geia sou Ilia,
Very impressive shot! I did'nt know that there is such big snake in Greece. Very well done with brilliant colours and good sharpness. Did you saw it in captivity? It suppose you did not met it on a stret of Thessaloniki... !)

Hi Ilias again,

A splendid macro capture of this beautiful large whip snake. As I seen your animals from Greece are very dark compared to Turkish ones (you can compare them easily because I have uploaded one or two shots before). Well done my friend!
Efkharisto,

Hi Ilias,
Wonderful shot of this great looking Whip Snake with very impressive sharpness and colours on its scales. Nice curled up poise and I like this natural setting. That eye looks scary. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
