Terrifying venomous snakes often possess a stunning, majestic beauty, but they are also incredibly dangerous, capable of killing their victims in the blink of an eye.
Indonesian photographer, Aditya Permana, has captured a series of stunning close-up images of these terrifying venomous snakes using a macro lens, evoking a shiver among viewers as they admire the beauty.
Using macro photography techniques, the author emphasizes the subject of the photo, nearly completely blurring the background. Through Aditya Permana’s images, viewers can appreciate the intricate beauty of these venomous snakes.
In the wild, there is an unwritten rule: the more vibrant the colors of an animal, the more venomous it is, especially in the case of snakes.
Thus, the beauty of snakes is indeed the beauty of death. A snake with vibrant colors signifies that it possesses extremely potent venom.
Regarded as cunning and treacherous creatures that will stop at nothing to survive, snakes often evoke disdain from people.
However, one cannot deny the alluring, seductive charm of these cold-blooded animals.
Some snake species, like cobras, even hold prominent positions in the religions, mythology, and traditional beliefs of many South Asian and Southeast Asian countries. They are also revered as sacred creatures in Hindu culture.
With its shimmering green scales and beautiful brown eyes, this snake makes all other creatures around it seem dull in comparison.
