Alertness Animal Head Beige Black Cobra Curled Up Herpetology Looking Up Poisonous Organism Rearing Up Snake
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this close-up print by Laura Wickenden from Universal Images Group, we are presented with the mesmerizing beauty of a Chinese cobra (Naja atra) rearing up in all its glory. The image showcases the snake's striking black body adorned with an intricate pattern that stands out against the pristine white background of the studio shot. What truly catches our attention is the beige scales on the underside of its head, which are prominently displayed as it curls itself up and raises its head high. This unique perspective allows us to appreciate every detail of this venomous creature's features, particularly its alert eyes and menacingly curved fangs. The high angle view adds to the intensity and drama of the scene, emphasizing both the power and vulnerability encapsulated within this one animal. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe mixed with caution for such a poisonous organism. Laura Wickenden has masterfully captured not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also provided us with an opportunity to delve into herpetology through her lens. With no people present in this composition, our undivided attention is drawn solely towards understanding and appreciating nature's wonders at their finest.
