Thanks.
I wanted to try and show the thing as we actually see it but of course its impossible with a camera because of lens capabilities compared to our eyes and DOE etc, etc.
Normally we would see this from a slightly higher POV but when I did that there was something infront of the head.So in fact this pic is straight out of the camera a part from cropping.
Thanks for looking

Well spotted John and she has certainly seen you.. I like this kind of image of the adder and I often use this kind of image in my talks, sometimes I take it even further to the extreme and really off centre the image and get less conspicuous shot than this even and then make the audience look for it so they get a taste of what we get up to when out looking for them.. However, I can see what others are saying but this is just how you find them. Good stuff..!

Nice environmental shot, and for me one of those situations where a centrally-placed subject is exactly right. Unless, of course, you want to be like Brett and make your audience work.
I think this is an interesting concept, taking an image of what you see casually rather than going in for a full frame closeup of the beast itself.. This approach probably has a lot of potential, but being mindful not to end up with something like a P&S image!
