This is a dead Western Brown snake. Found in Australia, it is venomous.

This one stood up on me while I was laying on the couch watching tv. As it was in the house, and aggressive, I chose to kill it.

Hi from the C Club,

I like this shot, I am not sure why it scored so poorly or got so few comments, but I will give it a shot.

In advanced editing remember you can go up to 740 on one side, this may have knocked a few points off your score as it is smaller.

The position of the snake may also be a factor, having it dangle out of the top right corner may have been more pleasing to the eye.

the blur is good, I like the blur, but then in amongst all your white you have a sudden spots of cream, a little dodging would have made those go away.

the snake, now that is in perfect focus, sharp as a tack, crisp and clean. Obviously you didn't stomp on it head so that may also explain why there is a little less body in it than there could be,

Other than those little points, I still think it is a very good shot.
