Great portrait of this viper. I like the selective focus on the subject.

Like the composition and space.  Last viper I saw where I live was almost 15 years back.  (A male).  Super sighting.  Guess this might be a female Matty.  (lipstick?)   Seriously, my bad.. Ladies tend to be browner or greener and the males grey/silver, but this view shows the colours perfectly.

In my youth, I'd spend time to look them out and regularly found them so good to see again.
Make your life spectacular!

Stunning Viper portrait, Matty, well done!

I wouldn't get that close - prefer to use my 500mmPF for such situations ;)

I haven't seen one of these for many years in the UK - the few we have stay well hidden. Nice shot.

Beautifully crisp with great colour. The unusual crop works really well.

Excellent shot- nicely coiled and placed in the frame.
