Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Wildlife Gallery, week ending 15th April, 2011!

Went out swamp tromping with Mac Stone and Neil Losin. Found this little moccasin and Neil and I shot him for a while. I had head-shots already so I went for the wide-angle.

Pretty impressive pose of this snake. Like the wide angle you used here, you usually see close ups of snakes.

Beautifully taken and presented image Paul! I love the pose, detail, light and perspective. The complementary colour tones are the icing on the cake.

I like this shot for the inclusion of its habitat. How did you get so close? Very nice indeed.
