This is the same snake entered some time back in a free study entry:


It is an Aruban Rattle Snake. It was taken at the Houston Zoo.

And ARTLMAO is correct. The snake is yawning. Took lots of patience and luck to get this shot ;)

Oh!! wow ! Great timing. nice & sharp. A little too warm , wish you had selectively toned down the yellow/red saturation a little. 8

That's pretty up close and personal! Wonderful textures and detail; too much yellow cast.

This is truly frightening. You did amazingly well to capture this moment. A crisp and clean shot.

I think it could have been post-processed a but more to bring out the colours and possibly dull down the reds.
