Great shot. Just the right mix of sharpness & blur. Skillful use of DOF. IMHO, this should have scored much higher, at least top 20.

I love the title of this! But not as much as I love the photo itself. The colors are amazing, and the detail and clarity on this guys face is astounding. Great job.

the reds are a bit too much and unnatural to me. Nice snake though.
