King cobra

King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) at King Cobra Sanctuary - 29/05/2011

Excellent photo - and it could probably be improved yet further by tweaking the white balance!

Thanks for the compliment SMR - This has easily made my top 10 photos I've taken so far!

Far from understanding white balance and what it does, how it works and what looks best, I've just had a random fiddle with 'click white balace' function (I think) - attached is the result (also sharpened further)

edit: to be honest, I don't think I've actually altered it in any way

Wow! What a fantastic shot! How many of you guys went?

A few of us,I will be sorting out another visit later in the year,and will put the details up here when I have it sorted!!

Excellent! I shall definitely keep an eye out for that! Thanks.
