Green keelback Well! i was in search of some frogs(a particular species though) on a chill winter night in the fields near my favorite place in my hometown.  We had a we using a normal led flashlight, and suddenly on of them alerted a snake near your leg, without over reacting, saw the green emerald shiny scales, confirmed it as harmless green keelback and i went to the eye level slowly without disturbing the snake in anyway. I liked the way the as the snake was seen under the led light. I just asked my friend to hold the light slightly lower and  created this image. This guy was moving slowly, I didn't want to stop him and shot moving along with him!
