Fantastic shots!
I'm curious...
I see from the EXIF that you are using a Canon 70D camera.... but am not sure what lenses you're using.
One appears to be a 60mm.... If that's correct, is it the Canon EF-S macro or the Tamron SP?
The other says 10-17mm... the only one I'm aware of is the Tokina fisheye. Are you really using that lens that close to those vipers? If so, you're braver than me!
