Isn´t it amazing how easy it is to choose different details, which are focusing different contents?
But I still like the entire picture most. ( hard to explain in English...)
The direction of the snake from left to right (like writing) is a symbol of movement, dynamism or departure.
The direction is also from shade to light.
The set up is open at the right side, so the snakes direction is also from closed (hidden) to open range, another symbol for departure, curiosity or daring.
And last but not least is the tail of the snake melding with the shade and colour of the flag, while her head is a well defined contrast in the brightness of sunlight.


Is this answering your question?
