Hello, Lee,
what an incredible shot. I have seen these snakes only recently on TV and thought the guy was NUTS for going near it. Excellent POV, great light and color, nice clear detail. I wondered what kind of lens you used to shoot this and saw you used a 300mm. Think I would, too. If not a telescope. LOL Thanks for a great shot and have a fine weekend.

Hi Lee,
I don't know what to write in this one here.. I believe the fear of capturing this makes this shot admirable, and I mean fear for the viewers since you were knowing what you were doing as a snake handler.

I've captured a snake once with almost the same equipment like yours.
I've set up a tripod next to the river when I saw an amazing nature scene. A snake drinking watter, I managed to take 3 shots then it went off. I saw even its tongue and I suppose thats how it felt me and hide fastly. I was almost 3-4 meters away from it, but the scene I saw from the viewfinder, I felt like I was nearby the amazon capturing dangerous creatures for National Geographic, haha.

Anyway, congratulations for this shot. Great POV/DOF framing.
And take care from that dangerous sport my frend.

Regards
Stelios
