Image 3

 After 2 days of no internet I am back with image number 3 of my picks from 2022.  This one is a Tiger Rattlesnake.  They are native to AZ, though not as common as a Diamondback, nor as aggressive.

This image is actually a "texture composite".  The snake was photographed on a table in a studio with a plain gray background.  A second image of a background, in this case the columns of our yard fountain, and the two images are blended together in Adobe Photoshop.
