Scarlet King Snake

This Scarlet King Snake was caught in my yard a few weeks ago. One of

God's painted creatures. Hope you like.

I can see why you let the edges go out of focus; but the white triangles (the sides of the box, I presume?) are still distracting. And it would be nice if more of the snake was sharp, especially in the foreground. I very much like the angle on the snake's head, and the way it appears to be looking at the camera.
