Amazing take. Love the feeling of life happening. Your love affair with ants continues ...... ( only thing I feel the highlights were impacted while processing )
-- Art is about what is inside rather than what is outside
Thanks a lot Raj. about highlights: A thing to worry, I am not seeing any blown outs on my monitor. Also I have done close to zero processing (except some basic saturation correction). Will calibrate my monitor and check again. But, yes, over all processing could have been better.
sorry should been more specific. Not blown out. Opposite . The glistening side of the snake and the nose and sky are look subdued and a bit unnatural. but please wait for some additional feedback . I may be wrong

I checked the raw file again, background is blue sky which is making it a bit artificial combined with oof snake. I have reprocessed it and converted to b/w. Let me know how you feel now. Here is the link
