Photo of the Week: Eyelash Viper

This is a beautiful Eyelash Viper on a Heliconia flower. These snakes will often stake out these flowers waiting for an unsuspecting hummingbird to feed on the flower’s nectar.

I had a friend hold up a black cloth for the background. Which really celebrates the graphic nature of this composition.

Good Luck and Good Light!
