I'm not sure whether to stick with the real shot, or to enhance that to keep the focal point of the image on the snake.
Should I clone out the yellow advert on the front wing?
Perhaps just burn it darker and leave it in?
Is the daylight on the nose still too bright?
It's under peak white but should it be edited?

I'm beginning to do more post work in photoshop and I wonder how far to go.

This is a difficult on on this particular image. For me the white on the nose needs a little help to refocus on the snake head.

I would leave the advert and possibly tone it down but it may look funny if it looks wrong if that makes sense. You need to appraise it while experimenting.

One think I would consider but may make it worse is to lighten the tyre in the background a small amount to give more context to the image. Again it needs experimentation to asses whether this will work or not.
