Ok, I'll admit it...I'm not a big fan of snakes, but this one is really cute. Nice DOF, very crisp. And your buddy even smiled for you!

"heyyyy there!! . . ." That's what he says when i look at this. very crisp, well balanced, good focal depth, good crop. I couln't tell you anything to make this better. . .well maybe a top hat and cane. . .but that's it.

Interesting angle, great detail. I think I never considered whether snakes have spit.

What a beautiful snake! Great shot. Good luck
04/06/2005 05:07:16 PM
Nice snake and good capture
You can keep it as a pet though! 8

nice detail, closer than I would have got.
04/05/2005 05:38:54 PM
I never thought I would be giving a snake picture such a high score. Great composition and super clarity.
04/05/2005 01:15:27 PM
This is excellent! 10.

Great corn snake shot. Excellent lighting and composition. Only distraction for me is the reflection in the eye...
04/05/2005 04:05:40 AM

04/04/2005 07:11:04 PM

04/04/2005 09:56:31 AM
Not a pet I'd want ..but a really good shot with nice color and focus. Good job.
04/04/2005 08:42:38 AM
Great shot! Love your pet photo...8
04/04/2005 08:39:49 AM
Awesome photo! I would have preferred a bigger DOF just because I'd like to see more of his/her beauty, but where it counts - head and eyes - are wonderfully lit and in focus. The background sets it off very well. Love it!!!! 9
04/04/2005 06:32:34 AM
Ah, what a pretty boy! Love the details. 8
04/04/2005 06:26:36 AM
I hate snakes, but even I like this shot. It almost seems like he is smiling for the camera...great shot! Nicely done!
04/04/2005 05:19:22 AM
Beautiful and crisp, makes me fear for my life lol
04/04/2005 03:56:57 AM
Great DOF! I toyed with the idea of using my snake instead of my dog. I probably should have gone for it.
04/04/2005 03:28:44 AM
original, sharp, funny... If I could vote it would be a 9! Hope you get a ribbon with this, I love it!
