[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In this photo this copper head snake looked as if it was after me.

The Copperhead is a stout-bodied snake that feeds on cicadas, caterpillars, mice, birds, frogs and lizards. It prefers to live in wooded areas, among rocks, or near streams or ponds because prey are more plentiful in such locations. Favorite hiding places include stone walls, sawdust, mulch or compost piles, and and under decaying stumps, in wood piles, under abandoned building debris, and under large flat stones. This snake will be seen basking during the day when weather is cool but not cold. During summer heat, it will stay hidden during the day and become active at night. Dens are most often in rocky hillsides with southern or eastern exposure to the sun. These "snake dens" will be returned to year after year and may contain a large number of snakes. In late summer, between 1 and 14 young are born alive rather than hatched from eggs.

Hope you guys like it !!

Hello Erim,
Horrible subject!
Very good picture!
Myself I'd suffer from heavy handshake here, that is... I wouldn't be that close at all!
Good framing... fine lines... great colours & details!

I thought it was an eel at first! But no, it is a snake! It isn't poisonous then Erim? Good shot showing it coming towards you. The scales and colours look good too. Well done,
Janice

Hi Erim, wow, the picture is super, one sees each only segment at the queue and the eyes, I likes no queues however the picture is unique.(Translate)

Hello Erim.

A very good photo with lovely colour and great sharp detail.
Did you use a telephoto lens?
If I was that close to a copperhead there would be lens shake.
Well done.Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Robert
