A tame cobra? Somehow, "tame" and "cobra" don't quite blend together in my mind...but guess if I was a snake charmer, defanged and tame would make excellent job security! :) Love the pop of red against the earthy tones of the wall and his wonderful expression...not to mention the cobra winding his way out of the basket. Wonderful capture, Ann! #1559960

I definitely think we will see this again. I will for sure as it is added to my favorites. Love everything about it. The building behind the man with the textures and that window. I agree about the red of his clothes standing out against the building. The way his cheeks are puffed as he blows and the snake coming out of the basket. I applaud your work here, love it Ann. #10949654
