They're stunningly beautiful, and deadly (which makes them even more cool!!)

Wonderful portrait. Focal length 150mm, is this a crop or were you actually that close?

No crop. The front lens element was about 5" away from his head. These snakes are so small though, that my hands, face, etc was well outside of its strike range.

thank you!!

I usually strive for focus on the eye, it usually makes the subject seem more natural, and it has a way of popping out at you.
