We've had a lot of small snakes in our yard this year. This one slithered through my perennial garden the other day. He stuck out his neck under one of my Astilbe plants and started the "tongue" motion. I know he has a green tint because he was under all that greenery and the sun was bright that day, but I was impressed with my 18-135 kit lens and my Canon Rebel T6s. I was probably 3 feet away. Is there a way in PSE to remove the green shadows cast by the leaves? I'm still learning all the ins and outs of a DSLR camera.

Can anyone here identify the type of snake?
I'll add my two cents to the rest ... excellent capture.
It's a common tree snake (Dendrelaphis punctulata). Non-venomous, with bird eyes and single scale connecting the mouth to the eye. Great for removing pesky insects from one's garden!
Awsome shot! I would never get a shot like that BECAUSE I WOULD BE RUNNING AWAY SCREAMING MY HEAD OFF! I HATE SNAKES ! I ran one over one day while mowing the lawn and everytime I went buy the spot I hit it I put my feet on top of the mower! My neighbor came over and stopped me to see why I was doing that, he laughed when I told him then proceeded to find the snake and prove it was chopped in half and couldn't hurt me, and yes I drove away very fast and told him he was not funny. he still to this day laughs at me

That's good to know. One of the members said they thought it was a green Mamba. It kinda looks like a green mamba, but they are usually only found in South Africa, although, thanks to people buying them from all over the world, they could end up anywhere.
If it was the Mamba, the picture taker wouldn't of realized how dangerous that situation would of been.
Great image. Good lighting and sharpness.
