Lovely! I think this picture is just perfect. The angle and everything is amazing.

its not about the actual smoothness/roughness of the snake, its about the scale type. Aestivus has keeled scales [most of the time] while the Vernalis has unkeeled scales. its just a distinction between species.

The name is a little confusing, because the snake is quite smooth.
But that's what it's called...

A lot of people hate snakes and I can't understand why. They are mostly shy creatures and almost never aggressive. They're not like you see them in movies...
Thanks for the comment!

I love these little snakes :3 They like to hang around the woods in our backyard. Nice shot! They're such friendly creatures -- I've never seen or had one try to bite me once ^^

With Spined Micrathenas and Rough Green Snakes, your backyard must be quite interesting!

Haha yeah, living in rural North Carolina actually has some good sides to it >< Last summer a full-grown black rat snake somehow made it's way into the only hole in the foundation of our house and was never seen or heard of again X.x
Not to mention that random wild turkey....
Or that mother fox and her kits....
Or the times when bald eagles were seen perching in our pine trees....
I haven't seen anything like that lately. Maybe my luck's run out?

You're too kind, but the truth is I have very little control over the DOF, since I refuse to use a flash. As a result, the DOF in my images is usually shallow.

Thanks for the !

I refuse to use a flash too. It may be that I'm just not expert enough with the use of one but I hate the results I get whenever I've used one.
