A highly detailed photograph of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled on a bed of dry leaves. The snake's scales are textured and have intricate patterns of dark diamonds on a light brown background. Its head is triangular, with beady eyes and a pair of heat-sensing pits. The rattles at the end of its tail are clearly visible. The background is a blurred desert landscape with a warm, golden light. Captured with a Canon EOS R5 camera equipped with a 100mm macro lens, using a softbox to create a gentle, even light that highlights the snake's intricate details and the desert environment.
