Another fine one in this series.
I hope you plan to do an exhibit or a book of them some day.

Wonderful. I see a light vignetting also. Keith this rendition reminds me of an animated piece I once saw in which a voracious aardvark went around consuming everything in the world. When he was done, all was emptiness and space. He looked around some more and found only his tail, so he started to consume himself. Then all went black.
This mythical creature is somewhat similar but less ominous:
ouroboros (from wikipedia)
The "world serpent" in mythology
In Norse mythology, the ouroboros appears as the serpent Jörmungandr, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, which grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth.

Many thanks to all for the comments.
John, I've used a vignette on several images in the series. In this case I feel it emphasises the circular subject within the square and keeps the eye within the frame. The vignettes also seem to add an element of menace. Additionally, I'm amused by taking what is considered by many to be an exceptional lens (in this case the Nikon Z 50 S) and rendering it substandard ;-). When my wife views this image she sees two pythons which ties in nicely with your reference to ouroboros.
Eric, regarding that exhibition or book, well, I never say never!
