I've never seen a garter snake look so menacing, Andrey. :eek: Nicely composed with good use of the moss/lichen bg and the snake in good position. :toast:

Well done catch of the snake and the moss, Andrey. I always enjoy this moss and you've got good sharpness on the snake where it matters, plus a fine pose.

Very well composed Andrey. I like the palette too. More dof possible ?

Love the setting and contrasting textures -- a tiny anaconda!
