O! My God! I think that I prefer to shot my little insects and even spiders... it's less dangerous!!! :-) A big vote anyway. Anna

What a fine, eye-catching capture! I am sure it is poisonous, right? V

I'm out of here... I do not like snakes!

Where is my 1000mm!
This is totally fascinating and amazingly captured.
Also I am glad you are still alive!

I think they call those "eyelash" vipers. We spotted one on the foliage at the same place, but I wasn't able to get a decent photo of it. The said that they keep the anti-venom on site, because they are so deadly that there isn't enough time to get a victim to the hospital. Wonderful capture here, Dan. That's really sharp and definitely as close as I want to get. BV

a potent poisonous pretzel here, doing well to cling on to the slippery frond...clearly you were in high gear shooting pix in Costa Rica..

Very cool shot. Looks great with that shiny leaf. Even 150mm is too close for me. "V"

Well taken. Prudent to not get too close based on 150 mm. "VV"
