Must be a good image as upon loading it up i tried to wipe the cobwebs off my screen to view !!!!
I like the way the dark top of the image and line of the snake leads you into the bright centre of the picture. From a personal point of view i would prefer to have all the snake in focus.
Just looked again. Those cobwebs really make the image.
I agree re the cobwebs, they really place it in context. I'd only suggest just a wee crop from the left and bottom to take the snake's eye away from the centre in both planes.
I'd salso suggest toning down/darkening a bit the bright highlighted leafy thing on the left...it just tends to drag the eye away from the snake a bit

That image represents as many Adders as I've ever seen in real life. Can't say the same for my new home though and you wouldn't get that close either.....lol
