    The striped keelback is a slender-bodied, non-venomous snake found throughout India. Frequents rice fields, ponds, bushes and gardens. It is very gentle snake and easy to handle. Found this small guy (about 1 foot in length) inside a resort. Had to lie down on the grass and managed to keep the eye in focus.
    Species: Striped keelback (Amphiesma stolatum)
    Location: Jungle Lodges Resort, Kabini, Karnataka, India
    Date: April 2010
    Equip: Canon 50D, Canon 70-200 at 160
    Specs: ISO 400, f8, 1/320s, hand-held

    Thank you for taking the time out to look, and for your comments/critiques

    Hi Ajit Find snakes difficult to shoot and this looks mighty fine !!! Excellent low angle and point of focus, like the little extra room to the right in the direction the snake is looking. About all I would do is take a little from the top to eliminate the brownish leaf? Like it a lot !!!

    Agree with above and also like the way it is coiled around.

    Real nice eye contact. I like the curves and lines of the snake.

    Nice image. I agree with the suggestion to crop a bit from top. It is good that you got the eye in the clear and in focus. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Excellent image Ajit! Great to see a fellow snake charmer. :D Agree with slight crop from top and touch more space right. Gorgeous colors here mate, simply gorgeous. :)
