13-OCT-2009	Walter O. Koenig

No. 16 - Twisted

I have only ever seen this snake in this twisted position.
Not an easy shot, one has to deal with glass, reflections, low light, distracting background and other Zoo visitors.

The image above was taken for the October Challenge - Scavenger Hunt!

That's a cool shot Walter, and no mistake - he certainly is twisted, I love all the lovely curves his position has made. And well done for persevering - it was well worth battling all those distractions to get his shot...V
