Cool shot. The rest of his body blurred in the background really helps it. (Hard to tell from this angle, but it just looks like a Garter Snake - they couldn't hurt you if they wanted to)

I think you're right...probably a garter. However, in the back of my mind I'm never sure. We have pigmy rattlers here as well. It does have some pretty cool DOF for both grass and snake.

Shot at 70mm, f/4 at 1/1600. This was unplanned pose. They were jumping...(thus the high ASA) and then they suddenly sat down and... snap. The young lady on the right kept jumping around and saying, "I love having pictures taken of me." Fun. (5 years and 3054 days ago)
This is one thing where you wouldn't want a macro shot, well done.
