This photo was taken in 2008, the rattlesnake was in the road in front of my house in Texas. Looking back now, I was crazy to get that close...

Oh, how could you ever get so close? You are extremely brave!

Isn't that their threatening look?? Was he making any noise? Great shot!
Lois Martin gave props (12 Oct 2008):
nice shot, too close for me though.

This taken with a 600mm would be too close for me! Well done, Renee, although I'd have to recommend against your beginning to specialize here!

Renee, this is beautiful. Greata capture right down to the ripples in the sand and his body language couldn't be more clear, eh? I like snakes but I give you kudos for this shot, telephoto or not. Very nicely done.
