A very good photo. The quality is good, the colors are good. Someone might argue that most of the picture being out of focus makes it bad, but in this case it really emphasises the snakes head, the part of the snake that one should focus on if you ever meet one! It's piercing stare adds much to that effect.

As for originality, this photo has it. There are many photo's of snakes but I find that thanks to the previously mentioned things, this one stands out in the crowd.

Even if as the background suggests to me, that this photo has been taken of a snake in captivity and might be slightly arranged, when it comes to animals such as snakes, it's hard to get a natural photo of a wild snake that is this good without endangering yourself.
And if this happens to be a wild snake, then that only makes the photo that much more impressive.
