flick of fear.. portrait of indian rat snake

"Indian Rat Snake"

Shot at Yeoor Hills (Sanjay Gandhi National Park), Mumbai on a weekend shoot with MWS Group

A few kms from the most populated northern suburbs in sprawling Metropolis of Mumbai is this amazing reserve with whispering rivulets , singing birds and our friend like above galore.

Few points from my side

- The bokeh looks too good for 1855mm lens and no i have not photoshopped. Its because the distance between the subject and the background foilage is quiet large

- This is heavily cropped, shot this from atleast 4-5 feet away. Shooting in raw helped

- yes, i notice some details on snake top are lost (i need to check if i contributed during PP)

and finally, no i am not the reflection in the snakes eye :-p
