    Default Rat snakes Wrestling

    This photograph was taken near Banglaore. These two Rat snakes were wrestling to display power.

    Mrudul, interesting behavior captured. I would remove the red spot in the upper left and too bad there was vegetation between you and the snakes. Could you have moved a bit to get a clearer view?

    I fixed the image for you. You need to use the IMG command, not URL. Alternatively, just click on the 'insert image' button above the text box and paste the link.

    There may be a bit of a color cast but I love this as presented. It is amazing. I do not mind the foreground vegetation as you have such a clear view of the heads and two great head angles, plus the amazing interaction. I even like the red in the corner. And I love how you made sure to get the body of the snake all the way in the frame on our right.

    Very nice image mate. I vote for removing the red bit too. The interaction and overall color make this powerful. Thanks for sharing.

    Mrudul,
    Nice image. The good thing is though there is foreground vegetation, you have got unobstructed view of their heads. I remember watching these wrestling matches when I was a kid and used to think that they are playing. However, they are trying to dominate each other.

    Cheers,

    Thanks all for the detailed comments.

    Thanks Axel, for again helping me with the link. I was really struggling with it. I think I have understood now.

    Aurthur, Thanks. Mrudul is pronounced as - 'Mru' as you pronounce "Fru" of fruit and 'dul' as you pronounce "ful" in beautiful with the emphasis on 'u'.
