This shot reminds me of a quote from the movie Predator: "You are one ugly m....". I think you made the right choice to submit it. A good picture is not only about how well it is executed technically, but also about just what one captures, and this expression is priceless!

Wow! With a shutter speed fast enough to let you get out of there safely, I hope! That looks like one cranky snake!

Maybe technically not perfect indeed, but I really like how it turned out.

Undoubtedly, the expression on that snake's face is priceless, and it certainly made me chuckle. Well done.
