How I met the Spectacle Cobra!

They were taken in an estate,the pictures are of two snakes: the brown colour is a Spectacle Cobra and the green one is a Wine Snake.

These pictures were taken with an 8 mega pixel canon camera.I was very fortunate as the  spectacled cobra posed beautifully for the picture. It was very close to me precisely about a meter away: it was a memorable moment.The wine snake meant no harm, so I went as close as possible. The  spectacled cobra was caught by professional snake catchers and was to be released.

So,during this time  I had a perfect opportunity to take my picture.I had caught the wine snake, taken a few snaps and released it back into the tree from which it was caught. I hope I get more chances like this to take photographs.
