- I think I'm being stupid, but is that just a little twig he's swimming over a few inches down from the snake's head? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 19:12, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- It looks as if the twig is floating and the snake is swimming under it. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, Support. Just that bit looks a little weird with the way the water reflects. As for the rest of the image, snake's very thin and long, so, while I might want more resolution to zoom in more, I'm not sure if that would be possible while getting the whole thing in.
