This cute snake was spotted by my brother at the beach after cycling. I used full zoom to get in as close as possible with lots of DOF, while my focus and aperture to ensure that its eyes were is sharp focus. Processed in lightroom to give it 'pop'

What a great head-on shot of the snake...lucky you have a good zoom range :P Very clear and steady shooting there...good job
The snake was very exposed on a metal fence, so I could get it as close as I wanted, but certainly the 250mm zoom did help to achieve the tight tight shot while keeping me out of its range of flight. The 2nd shot was slightly cropped to bring the viewer in even closer.
