Coming from a country where we don't have snakes I have a fascination with them. On a recent trip to Australia we went to Australia Zoo and through the snake house. The snakes are behind glass and I had to rush a bit as our boy was very tired and wanted to go back to the car and sleep. This is the best of the snake shots I took.

I don't think this particular snake is too interesting. The DOF causing the section of the back to be in focus with the head is a distraction. Lighting looks nice, color is great, but composition wise I just don't like this one. 5.
