A vibrant coral snake slithers gracefully, its vivid colors contrasting against a backdrop of lush tropical foliage, half its head submerged in crystal-clear water, the other half above, creating a mesmerizing reflection on the surface. Captured with a Panasonic DC-S5, utilizing a 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN lens at 70mm, set to ƒ/8.0 with a shutter speed of 1/80 and ISO 800, flash turned off, the scene is serene yet dynamic, embodying the essence of a tropical wilderness. The gentle ripples distort the reflection slightly, adding a touch of surrealism to the realistic setting.
