thanks to dad for keeping an eye on the snake for me lol depth perception is awful through a zoom lens.
(ps: this is me just realizing the submission process changed for the better... wow. lol.)

Most fantastic!!!
The infamous Eastern diamonback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus). Increasingly hard to find in central Florida, due to development and people's nearly constant slaughtering of these beautiful and powerful animals.
This is a great shot. Snakes are tough to photograph when they're stretched out... Get the whole body and you can't see the detail! Zoom in on the head, and there's no reference of the body/shape. This is right in the middle, with a nice lateral wide crop. I like it quite a bit!!!
But now I want to find one to photograph myself...! lol
Awesome photo ~
