And thank you for the comment. I actually shot the image from the bed of a pick up truck. We spotted the snake moving down this dried and cracked dirt road on the ranch and I jumped into the bed as my assistant drove to the side of the snake. As we approached, I noted his patterned movements and quickly composed and took the shot. I think that there were about 10 images total and this was the sharpest and best composition. The whole scenario lasted about 30 seconds and we then moved on to photograph something else. Wildlife photography is driven more by luck than anything else and in this image I was granted the privilege to capture a unique image that I personally haven't seen before of a rattlesnake. And thank you for the compliments! Jay Hi Dick,

I wanted to comment on your rattlesnake shot because I recently returned from Red Rock country in Arizona. I was on a short photo shoot and wanted so bad to run across a rattlesnake-hopefully not stepping on one but wanting to capture a fantastic image like the one you got. One question-You have a direct down shot of the rattler-how far or what were you standing on for this unusual angle? It looks like boot level to me! I recently started a blog and will post some images from Arizona as soon as I can. If you like check out my blog at http://dickberryphotography.com and leave a comment if you like. Thanks for the great shot and great work! Dick Berry Hello Jay,
