Wonderful first impression. Very good details and nice textures and very good focus, Like the colors in the snake. Thank you for sharing. Dale

I have fear of these 'girls'. Never are known with them. I like that you did the capture in all his longitude ( except a infima part of tail) Good color, sharp focus, and great camera techs. Well done.

Rare catch indeed. You were lucky not to step on him and to get his picture. Given how quickly you had to act, I don't really think technical criticism is appropriate here. Very nice job indeed. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, James.

Not very fond of snakes, this one looks like it was on a mission to go someplace. Good shot, focus and frame to show the creepy and scary details.

Thanks again George I didn't know how deadly it was at time and apparently baby snakes are worse as they have no control over venom release and just let it all go

Quite a nice looking little animal. I can see why it is called a tiger. Very nice colors and excellent cropping. It looks very good on this crushed stone background.

Great impact with a horrifying storyline. This little guy looks harmless. Creative framing, nice focus and exposure. Thanks for sharing.

a great panorama framing and no problem for cutting the tail; fortunately, an unusual and unfrequent find; sharp focus;

Thanks again Fred, yep no way was I hanging around to get perfect composition :) Mary

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Its understandable why the tail is almost cut off!
A rare find! An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

Thanks Dick, yes I didn't take too long to compose this one and if I knew it was so dangerous at the time probably wouldn't have taken this and another one in the grass LOL
