Was at the zoo when I spotted this small hognose snake moving in its exhibt. In macro mode I was able to get this close-up as the snake moved from behind a rock.

Excellent close up of the snake, John. Your pof is on the money, with excellent detail and exposure particularly for having been shot through glass. Nice job.

It has a rather sweet expression! It looks like it maybe was using his hog nose to do some digging!

Good POV of the head John, even looks kinda cute with all that sand on its face

Nice work shooting through the glass with flash, sharp eye

Nice capture of the personality of this snake. A portrait in the literal sense. With a good cuteness factor.

Neat view! I like the well coordinated colors throughout the frame and your dof choice.
