"Indian Rat Snake"
Shot at Yeoor Hills (Sanjay Gandhi National Park), Mumbai on a weekend shoot with MWS Group
A few kms from the most populated northern suburbs in sprawling Metropolis of Mumbai is this amazing reserve with whispering rivulets , singing birds and our friend like above galore.

Lets deconstruct the photograph a bit
- The bokeh looks too good for 1855mm lens and no i have not photoshopped. Its because the distance between the subject and the background foilage is quiet large
- This is heavily cropped, shot this from atleast 4-5 feet away. Shooting in raw helped
- yes, i notice some details on snake top are lost (i need to check if i contributed during PP)
and finally, no i am not the reflection in the snakes eye :-p
Isn't she super svelte!! Mallika can go take a hike :-D

Thank God I wasn't nearby. My shrieks would have scared it away!
But beautiful shot as usual.
@purba - she is friendly. looks deceive all the time, even in animal world. :)
Hey Mayank, unable to see the pic. Any probs?
Sorry to hear about that. There are things that i do not completely understand in blogging.. i just lost the share buttons on the blog and cant seem to find out why!
I think since i link the images from flickr, if flickr.com is down the images wouldnt load. Maybe i should instead load on blogger directly!! Hope you would try again..
That's right. Blogger or Wordpress would serve you better. And while you are at it, can you please have a Gravatar/Profile Picture?
@US- didnt get what you meant by that. Am already on blogger. Will wordpress be better. Well yes, i will get a profile picture soon. :-)(now that you have pointed out I do not have much left in terms of hiding my ugly face from my readers)
Something so dangerously beautiful about it
@Maitreyee - thanks. One needs to be careful for sure. Rat snakes are not poisonous though! :-)
