This fellow is a Eastern Copperhead, the only venomous snake commonly found in Fairfax County, Virginia. People come across them from time to time, but snakebites are rare. He was safely sunning himself in a terrarium at a local nature center, and being nearly motionless I caught him with my macro lens on a tripod at 3.2 seconds at ISO 100. I went through a range of f-stops and I felt f/11 provided the best depth of field for this scene.
Edits on Darktable 5.0 for tone, color, removal of distractions, and retouched to reduce or remove specular highlights.
