Thank you so much for this feedback - it helps. I just don't seem to get the shutter speed up as much as I would like to :-(. This was a very unique opportunity for me to take these snakes and it took a while to have the guts to be close enough ;-). I was thinking with the f/18 I would have a better chance of having her in focus. Of course that pushed my shutter down ...

Nice to see you here Gaby.
Man these boys are hard to shoot well. Fear Factor! This is the best of your series due the good background and pose. You'll need to push the shutter speed a lot higher though to get him crisp and tack sharp. At least 1/1000th. The aperture is to small at f/18. Try f/8.
