Green Rope Snake

Description

This is another image that I took at the Cleveland Zoo this past Saturday!

I really love how the s-curve of the snake along with the DoF give this image a 3-dimensional feel..almost like the snake is coming out of the image and right at you.

Donald, I am so glad I found your gallery. I love your work. This is my favorite because I am a real fan of snakes. I also loved the pretty little fishy and the hibiscus closeup. I am an abstract painter so the spin series is wonderful to see, as well. I am new to photography, so people like you are an inspiration. #3335365
