Hi Iulian,

A very nice shot of this snake. It's seems to be a attack on you???? Nice naturel colours. Sharp. POV and BG are oké. And I like to read this: "IT IS NOT VENOMOUS AND THE BITE IS NOT DANGEROUS" Have a nice day and TFS Bob

Hi Iulian.
Great moment captured with the head up, looks like you are going to get it, the eye is looking right at you.
Exposure, sharpness, colour and detail look good. May pay to check on the levels of the histogram, slight grey to the image on my monitor.
Wonderful shot, eye contact fantastic, hope you did not get bitten for it.

Hi Iulian,

Another wonderful snake. That eye is magnificent but he looks to be glaring at you. The snakeskin is fantastic with wonderful colors and sharp pattern. I like the natural habitat.

Thanks Julian,
You must be some kind of a daredevill to come this close to this kind of snake.
Ok I know it's not a venomous one, but I also know, out of own expierence, that a bite of a snake like this can hurd for weeks and make a rather bad inflammation.
This is a great shot capturing the snake in such wonderful pose.
Composition is excellent with the shadow inserted in the frame.
Sharpness and exposure are spot on.
Only small nit pick I have is contrest in this image.
If you work with photoshop you should try the aoto contrast option and see what nice thing it does to this image.
Very beautiful image anyway.
Thanks for sharing.
Warm regards and have a nice sunday,
Harry

Buena pose del animal que refleja la tensión de estar en el aire, aunque lo que más me gusta son los colores, que como en otras de tus fotos , parecen poco manipulados. Buen enfoque. Quizás un exceso de luz, aunque muy poco. Un saludo.

Hi Iulian. One of the best snake photos seen on this site to date. Excellent clarity enabling us to see each scale. Good work. Murray.
