Snake Charmer, China

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Shots

A snake charmer performs with his pet snake during a spring festival in China.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I first saw this picture when it was submitted to a Your Shot assignment called Catch the Light, and I keep coming back to it. The monotone color palette and the deliberate posture of the performer juxtaposed with the shadowed, slightly askance curtain is an example of perfection and imperfection working together. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
