Hi Crystal,
I'm not familiar with this species - is their venom poisonous? The coils are interesting visually. It looks like you go the head region very sharp - well done. It does look like the positioning of the snake made it tough get the entire body within the sharp region of you depth of field. I'm assuming this was hand-held at that stopping down further wasn't a viable option for you?
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

He looks like he could quickly hide in his environment! I like the good exposure on the face and echo Brad regarding depth of field.
