I would have cut out the foreground because those woodchips are distractingly bright. I like the hollow log though, it makes for an interesting composition.
Isn't he lovely....like the composition, use of colour and texture but not the soft focus....this subject asks for a bit more tension, a bit more punch as though he is going to strike any moment.
I don't even want to ask how you got this shot! Great (and terrifying) expression on the snakes face, and he's well framed by his little nest in the shot.It looks a little bit too light, almost washed out. Was an onboard flash used?
Corn/fox snake? What a beautiful animal. Is that how his eyes normally are? Since I'm guessing this is a pet snake I would have like to have seen him in a more natural environlment... or at least stretched out some. You also lose a lot of detail in the whiteness or lightness of the shavings at the bottom of the photo, which detract from the photo... The snake is also too centered in this photo, I think, cropping in from all sides might have helped, although maybe this leaves sufficient room for words? I think I would have tried to make the snake a more substantial part of the overall photo.
