A vibrant coral snake gracefully glides through the scene, its striking colors vividly contrasting against the lush backdrop of tropical foliage. Half submerged, the snake's head is split by the waterline, showcasing its curious gaze both above and below the surface. The water acts as a perfect mirror, creating a realistic and seamless reflection. Captured with a Panasonic DC-S5 using a 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN lens, the image is taken at ƒ/8.0, with a focal length of 70mm, 1/80 shutter speed, and an ISO of 800, all without the use of artificial lighting, allowing the natural light to illuminate the scene beautifully. A slight breeze causes gentle ripples, adding a dynamic element to the stillness of the reflection.
