The image is an underwater photograph of a sea snake coiled up on a rocky surface. The snake is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is stretched out in a serpent-like manner. Its head is turned towards the camera and its mouth is open, as if it is about to strike. The background is filled with various sea plants and rocks, and there is a small amount of water visible in the bottom right corner. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the snake.
