Hola Hugh, la calidad técnica de la foto me agrada mucho, mi pregunta es si estabas atras de la persona para tomar la foto, por miedo, o, por hacer una composición diferente con distintos planos, lo que le da una buena profundidad a la foto... si es el segundo caso, te felicito...

Un abrazo...

hi Hugh,

Safe behind the woman, watching the snake ... I would be standing there too :))
i like the layer with the blurred foreground.
greetings, inn

Whether in fear or not, putting yourself behind the other person for this shot adds a definite sense of keeping a bit of distance. Which is one of the things that makes the photo work.

Great capture, The timing is very good fentastic shot. good Great composition! Fantastic scene!

Best regards

The story continues and a little more is revealed of the man and his snake. Again a nice feeling of detachment created by the figure on the left. Fine composition - but please tell me he doesn't carry the snake around in that briefcase! Warm regards, Roberto
