I like this one so much better than the other photo of this same snake.
There's a wonderful surprise element when opening this photo because the snake is almost hidden within the branch.
But I never would have found you but for following what I considered a bad critique of this one. [link] I thought that photo wasn't very good and I was very surprised a reviewer I admired had rated it so highly. It was a step back for me to not put others on too high a pedestal.
PS. When I add one cent plus one cent it's never worth more than two cents, the same as my opinions.
