This is very nice. Got the tongue nicely. Sharp ;and well exposed. I can see a bit of noise in the BG but not to bad. I might like a bti more room on the left of the frame for the snake to look into...

Great exposure and perspective on this. The noise in the BG is my only nit. Well done.

Nice pose but it is a little high in contrast and the noise that others mentioned. Also looks like a tire track in the baclground, but ,ostly obscurred

I think reptiles are one of the most difficult sbjects to do justice to, but you have done a great job here Ivan. The coiled reptile has allowed you to compose the entire subject showing both head and tail to good advantage - the protruding tongue is a bonus!!

Snakes aren't the easiest thing to photograph. I like the shooting angle here and the tones. But I think that if you would have moved a bit CW around the snake, you would have had a more interesting approach, with a bigger distance between the tongue and the rattle.
