This looks like a big pile of snake, although there is no reference for scale. I think you exposed him well and appreciate that you found an unobstructed low angle. In terms of composition, maybe you could have given him a little space on the right for him to be looking into?

Good detail on the snake Kyle and the overall exposure looks spot-on. My only suggestion relates to composition. To eliminate some of the surroundings I would crop this a bit panoramic by removing a sliver from top and bottom, or maybe the bottom only. I am curious what other wildlife you encountered in Cuba.
