Hi Matt,
I've put 06 on the pic but the snake was actually a rescue late 05. I was called in to remove it from a garage close to where I live so he posed for me in the garden before being released . However , with patience and by sitting very still at this time of year snakes will come very close as they're preoccupied with finding a mate
Thanks Matt,
Al

Hi Alan
One of the best photos I have ever seen of a snake. I like the sky reflected in its eye. I don’t think it would come close to me, although I have been called a snake I don’t think I could attract such a beautiful Snake. Well done Alan.
Neil

This photo is one of those few that are truly deserving of being labelled as perfect and stunning! It has sublime clarity and detail and the blurred background is spot on too. It really is a lovely shot and a pleasure to view. Well done that man! 
My friend showed me some Adder images he took over the weekend which has wetted my appetite for snake shots, might have to take time out from work and go on the hunt for some myself!
Regards
Matt
