Usually a bird guy, but I stumbled upon this rattlesnake in Arizona last week. He coiled up as I passed him on the trail and permitted rather close approach. Yeah, these guys are dangerous but generally only if you really startle them or act like a general asshat towards them......

Thanks for looking

Love the tongue out pose. A little more DOF would have been better, but this works. Great mouse level perspective.

Good pose with that tongue out and nice coils. I like the low level perspective. I live in AZ and don't come across them very often at all, so you took good advantage of your opportunity.
