Photo taken in South Texas.

Was driving home near sunset and a 7 foot Rattle Snake was in the middle of the road warming himself.  Luckily I had a pretty big lens and did not have to get too close.  Photo is almost full frame.

I'm glad you used a big lens! Good use of selective focus for maximum impact with this excellent shot Gene.

Well seen and captured, Gene. The beautifully illuminated eye makes the image for me.
