I was very fortunate with this picture. I saw this snake in a bush, and very slowly I brought my camera to his level. At the time he was hiding, but after a while he got curious about the camera and decided to investigate. When he was pretty close I took a bunch of pictures. I only wish I got him with his tongue out, cause it was coming out every few seconds. (5 years and 3389 days ago)

awesome shot!!! Love the focus in this... but um... you weren't scared? Any snake with bright colors freak me out... ok any snake freaks me out. LOL
Well done, great details and that DOF makes it better.
GREAT JOB!!
Brilliant, what lens were you using?
Thanks all, and I don't remember friiskiwi, it was last year. But I think I use my macro lens, but not zoomed in. And no MnM, snakes don't scare me, I even have one, maybe I'll take a shot of him too. you would like him, he has no bright stripes.
Amazing shot... others need not enter the contest now. I think we have a winner!
Oh gosh, I wouldn't go that far, but thank you, sure makes my day.
This is a Common Garter Snake for anyone that would like to know.
Excellent shot.
Glad to hear its only a garter snake, Great shot.
very nice capture Author. these guys can be a pain in the wild to shoot
It's definitely the DOF that makes the shot. Nice find!! GL!
Fabulous piece author...very very well done
