A small garter snake that was quite interested in me and my shiny glass eye. Captured on a nature walk with my son. A layer of Topas adjust/clarity, masked over the snake's head and body.
Thanks for the comments during the challenge.

A naturalists delight, this is a very effective image - one that is very worthy of a NatGeo photo shoot. The artistic impact is very impressive - the sense of curiosity in the snake is almost palpable. The nicely detailed head is exquisite and demonstrates the various ways Mother Nature gives her creatures character. A very effective image that may not be to everyone's taste. Well done.
