EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this portrait, the enigmatic Adder (Vipera berus) from Staffordshire, England, reveals its true essence. With piercing eyes that seem to hold ancient secrets and a venomous reputation that demands respect, this slithery resident of the heathland strikes a pose like no other. April showers may bring May flowers, but they also awaken these elusive creatures from their winter slumber. Caught in Danny Green's lens for 2020VISION, this stunning print showcases the beauty and danger intertwined within nature's delicate balance. With its distinctive profile and intricate scales glistening under the English sun, our scaly protagonist invites us into its world. Its serpentine elegance is juxtaposed with an air of mystery as it navigates through the reserve with stealthy grace. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, let us appreciate both the fragility and resilience of our natural world. From those venomous fangs to its flickering forked tongue - every detail tells a story of survival in an ever-changing environment. So next time you venture out onto Staffordshire's enchanting landscapes or any untamed terrain across Europe, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating vertebrates. But remember to admire them from afar – after all, even in portraits they retain their potent bite!
