Yikes. You're shooting this with a 100mm macro? 

Excellent photo. Thanks for sharing.

Nice line/pattern to this image, with the use of the diagonal and the coils of the boa. The mouth open makes this more interesting and dynamic.

Its a lovely feeling to hug and be hugged but I think I will not take the opportunity with this beauty Jeff!!   :D

A snake can be so beautiful and so deadly at the same time and your angle on this one really shows the menace lurking in the jungle.  Great shot my friend!

That is right Mark, but add the crop sensor factor so it is 160mm effective focal length. Glad that you like it. Kind regards from Costa Rica!
