Hallo Paul,
Schitterende foto van deze Aspisadder, vipera aspis. Een slang uit de wat gematigder streken. Wat een toeval dat je deze tegen het lijf loopt. Prachtig laag standpunt en uitstekende diepte en compositie. Mooie natuurlijke kleuren en scherpte.
Groet,
Peter

Hello Paul,
Wow, You must have had a warm and sunny day up there to find an Adder out and about!! Not nice to step on while picking berries or fungi though! This has almost happened to me several times up Stockholm way!! We rarely see them down here.
Anyway you managed to get a very close capture showing its eye and zig-zag markings.
Great sharpness and natural colours. Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Paul, you are very lucky that encountered with this beauty:)Amazing sclation details showing the all characteristics of European Asp viper with its head uperside pattern. Elongated two dark spots forming a V-shaped marking that is open posteriorly and also obviously keeled back scales very impressive. Excellent POV and composition too. Thanks for sharing this fine image my friend!
Have a nice new week!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Paul
Great capture of this adder! I was hoping to see one today, but my reptile spotting total was one very small Common Lizard and two dead Slow Worms - both had sadly been run over :(
Great focus on the eye, I like the detail of the scales. TFS.

That was lucky you didn't step on it.
This is a very fine shot.
That reddish eye is really evil-looking!
Superb sharpness.
Great composition.

Well done,
Joe

Avond, Paul
Niet de eerste keer dat je een adder spot en fotografeert.
Heel mooi dier.
Ik associeer Zweden niet met gifslangen zoals deze adder.
Bedankt
Annick
