Nice shot. It sure looks better in a natural pose, than on someones hat band.

Welcome to DPS
This is a great shot. At least with a rattlesnake you have some warning that they are close unlike some of the other snakes.

This is a great shot, but to me there is nothing midget about that snake. For me to be able to see one thru a lens at all means I am entirely too close!
Welcome to DPS. Glad to have you with us!
