Superb but dangerous encounter! I don't think that I can approach so close!! A Big Vote for your courage and for this impressive picture! Anna

Fantastic shot! Gorgeous snake, but probably wise to let the branch be! V

That´s why cameras have a zoom.
Monte Stevens15-Jul-2013 19:37
LOL! That's a smart decision, Buz.

hope you were using a long lens on this one Buz
Chris Spracklen15-Jul-2013 09:26
That would have been a clever bit of cloning if you had tried to remove the stem, Buz!
Excellent shot of this sleeping beauty all the same. *V*

Nice light on this snake, don't get too close you don't want a whack from him/her! V

Wow. That is a very frightening image. I don't think I would have stayed around to take it.

You deserve this splendid shot for being within range Buz. V.

Beautiful snake. Ive been looking for a Timber Rattler. So far no luck.
Guest 13-Jul-2013 03:28
A really nice image of this Copperhead...
I'm quite sure I would have used my telephoto lens on this image...
Richard Vance13-Jul-2013 03:05
Can't blame you for not moving that stem. It was fine right where it was! :) Outstanding image of that camo critter, Buz. Vote
Best to you,
Dick:)

OMG....I hope I don't come into contact with one...I am not a fan of snakes.
Johnny JAG12-Jul-2013 21:21
You're a braver man than me!
Coleen Perilloux Landry12-Jul-2013 19:06
What a monster. I would not have stayed to get the photo.
Martin Wenzel12-Jul-2013 18:37
I'll just stay clear of this guy, Buz!
Jay Levin12-Jul-2013 18:34
