Viper
by Gunter Leitenbauer
A venomous viper species found in parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, and especially the Indian subcontinent. One of the most dangerous snakes, because of her aggressiveness and very toxic poison. Most of the lethal incidents with snakes have to be written on her account, at least in Africa (in India it is the cobra).
Equipment: Canon 5D with Sigma 105/2,8 Makro, f=3,2 1/80s ISO 1600

I am just a hobby photographer. My main focus is on nature photography (animals) and macros!
My purpose on photography is simply: to enjoy others and of course myself with good pictures.

I would have like to know the conditions of this wonderful shot. Anyway, congrats, the DOF and the subject are both perfect.

great shot, well done for getting the eyes nice and sharp – think I would have had a bit of hand-shake!

What was the photographer to subject distance?
Joe Eitzen
Very clear! Beautiful

Great effect to have the head that clear and sharp and the rest of the body blurred. Looks as if it comes straight towards you. Scary!
Linda
Great!!!
Jon Eisenberg
Wow. Great use of depth of field. It makes the picture all the more impressive, and scary. Nicely done.
Paul Indigo

Great DOF and he looks like he is right there in your face. Hopefully you were using a loooooong lens!

I absolutely love this photograph – one of my all time favourites. The texture, colour and composition is just perfect.

If I had to pick one of my favorite photo’s of all time, this would probably be in the top 5. The DOF is quite beautiful, and the variety of the color spectrum chosen is gorgeous.
Very nice.
