A belated comment for the author:
The flow of the text is broken by the Cottonmouth cable and caption. I'm not suggesting removing the image; it is interesting and serves as a good example.[1] I'm suggesting another round of editing to improve the reading flow.
Additionally, since so many people scan text rapidly, some visual changes are needed too. The caption looks too much like a follow-up paragraph. To fix, consider:
A. Include the caption in the bounding box used for the image (which has white space on both the left and the right).
B. use a different font, font-size, or style for the caption
C. using a different background color for the (image + caption)
D. separate the (image + caption) from the surrounding text with vertical lines
I'm inclined to think that in this case, A with B would be sufficient and would work well. You could also pair that with C and/or D, being mindful that the latter two could be overdone.
[1] Why stop at one example? I think a carousel of examples would be even more interesting!
