Big snake little light

I had not started out to photograph this 20 ft. python at the Miller Park Zoo, but when I saw it stretched out it's full length  on the tree branches in the exhibit for the first time I just had to try.  The exhibit is a hodgepodge of light.  Natural light coming from windows, along with very nasty reflections, and tungsten light from overhead fixtures.  I did not have a wide enough lens or flash, but had to give it a try.

John, the sharpness and position of the head work very well with the oof stretched out body and branches on the left.
