Not quite sure they'd like it as an aftershave advert :biggrin: but another Adder from the collection as I am waiting patiently for my regulars to emerge from this cold weather we're having..

You've captured a great pose, Brett. I like it very much but I think I would be tempted to crop a little off the top,

Another fine Adder image Brett, is this a male or a female, agree with Sandra re the pose and crop.

excellent Brett, nice setting and a tongue flick as well. I look forward to more when the weather warms up.

Nice Image, I like the crop, but would prefer a little more eye contact, otherwise spot on.

Wonderful shot ,

A little off the top maybe :toast:

Thanks for your comments folks, always appreciated.

Andy: This is a female adder which can be identified knowing the lack of colouration and/or 'shading' on the large rostral scale and pre-nasal shields.

Kind regards,

"scent of man" well change your aftershave then!
I would take a little from the bottom and give just a tad of CC rotation.
Hopefully you wont have to wait too much longer for your locals to be out and about.
