Wow – you even captured the tongue “tasting” the air! I love snakes and this image is so beautifully lit. Fantastic.
Shannon Plummer
Thank you so much. This young guy was incredibly aware of me – more than any of the snakes in the series. Every slight movement he followed me precisely and was very rigid for a snake – quite tense. I love those big eyes – as Australia’s largest snake he may just grow into them soon!
