The image is a black and white photograph of a snake coiled up on a glass surface. The snake appears to be a type of snake, possibly a cobra, as it is coiled around itself in a spiral-like pattern. Its body is elongated and its head is turned to the side, with its tongue flicking out as if it is tasting the air. The glass surface reflects the snake's body and the background, creating a mirror-like effect. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the snake. The overall mood of the image is mysterious and captivating.
