Czesc,
Niesamowicie zapozowala! Wyglada na kawal gada, ciekawe jak duza byla w rzeczywistosci. Technicznie spoko, choc powiedzmy ze glowa jest leciutko przeswietlona w jasniejszych czesciach. Kompozycja bardzo na tak.
Serdecznosci,
Michal

Czesc Radek!

Cos ostrzejszego dzisiaj :-) Swietna, 'sprezynujaca' poza oraz oko - koszmar kazdego gadofoba. Piekny zwierz. Jedyne co mi przeszkadza, to zielony farfocel na pierwszym planie. Probowalem go nawet wyklonowac w Photoshopie, ale to robota na cala noc ;-)

What a fantastic pose of this viper, Radomir.
A perfect "S" coil, with a fetching upward tilt of the head.
The details are very sharp and well-exposed.
Strong colors in the intricate designs of the scales.
TFS. : )

very interesting expression. good focus but the head seems either out of focus a tad or a tad overexposed.

This is truely a wonderful photo and dedication!
I am honored! :)
The adder looks very beautiful and presents a great ready-to-strike pose!
I raelly like the low POV here which gives a very nice idea of the perspective of the snake, the DOF is excellent and it isolates the subject very well from the BG.
I also like the fill-in flash work that does well to bring an extra bit of brightness to the picture and saturates the colors nicley, too.
The details are very clear and sharp, as well and the textures on the scales are gorgeous.
nice framing and sueprb composition!

BRAVO, TFS and again a splecial thanks for the dedication :)

Another interesting snake capture Radomir with great point of view.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, sharpness, colors, focus, background, lighting, framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: nothing.

Opportune shot capturing the typical defensive posture of these species.
Thank you and greetings... Ricardo

A great picture, Radomir.
Fascinating animals. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of snake knowledge. Yes, a lot of prejudices...
No snakes whatsoever in my country that 's probably another reason for the fascination issue.
Nice shot, Radomir.

Hi Radomir,
time for a serious update on your pictures. I must say your images are really great and deserve more attention. All of them sharp, showing unusual species and well presented. Take this Viper, also a great picture. He's alert, but the curled up body reveals all details. Well done.
Cheers, JAcob

Hi Radomir,

This is an excelent shot of a female adder.
In Romania too, this species has lost some ground due mainly to habitat loss.
This photo has a great POV and very nice details.
Thanks for sharing,

Alex

Oh dear Radomir! This one looks ready to strike! I hope you were using a camera with telephoto lens! There is no way I would do this with the macromode as I did my sleepy Smooth Green Snake... Beautiful markings on this viper. Tfs, Jay

Witaj,

Ta żmija nie patrzy zbyt przyjaźnie. Pamiętam (odległe) czasy, kiedy widok żmij pod Warszawą nie był czymś niezwykłym i można je było dość często spotkać. No a w Beskidach czy Bieszczadach było ich bardzo dużo. Teraz dawno juz żadnej nie widziałam.

Ciekawe zdjęcie. Pozdrawiam

Małgorzata

Waawwwwwwwwwww! A nice capture of a polar viper friend! I love these creatures. I think my spirit looks like to them:) However, according to me the most beautiful organ of these is their eyes! It represent their force and self-confidence! TFS friend.
