Unique concept.

Clever concept, well executed. I like the clips coming down like fangs.

oh nice! reminds me of the ribbon winning shot from shannon ( scalvert )...

nice idea

buckle is a bit too reflective. A take-off on serpentine belt?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Eewww! Very creative scenery.

Great personification. (Should that be snakeification?)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2009 03:14:41 PM
humor from the mundane, a DPC classic.

Nice lighting. Out of the box and funny too. Congrats.

Very creative!

Interesting and a bit scarey
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:25:30 PM
different!

That looks like a very poisonous species. Very creative and nicely executed. 7

YAY humour. Love it, nice light, good use of shag carpeting to add additional texture. :}
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:04:20 AM
Cute and clever!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:21:48 AM
Nice idea. I would have like it with the focus sharper on the buckle and more contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice execution, if you had chose a different location or a better background this would have been great, 6

I remember seeing this before, and I still love it! The processing may be a bit dark.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

7 because I love a good visual pun.

Very unique.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:40:11 PM
Not sure if there is a message behind this or not. Just as a picture there is a lot of texture which is nice and the tones are good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:36:59 PM
VERy creative. Fun shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

10, 10, 10, should be in every bus shelter in the world with a note about abuse below it! 10

Points for creativity, and for making this look as though it's taken at a grassy park next to a beach. I swear I see water where the floorboard is... :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:08:34 AM
Very funny
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:28:31 AM
Creative, nice shot, that'll scare those kids into behaving!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:02:34 AM
too funny, makes a perfect snake, fangs and all, good conversion to B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:08:57 AM
Snaky! I like it! Just wondering how you get this shape.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:39:42 PM
Made me smile and made me smile again. As photos go it's "just okay" but it still makes me smile. I'm glad you chose out-of-the-box. Thanks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:05:36 PM
Very creative. I think this capture's vote would grow greatly with some added contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:27:26 PM
LOL :-)

Very original concept, well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:43:08 AM
great personification, but I don't think the carpet and baseboard add anything to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:30:08 AM
Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a cool idea. Would have been great in that personification challenge we had not to long ago. Technically not great but the idea is. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:21:34 PM
Very clever. Is it venomous? Well captured.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Crikey!! She's a beauty! The double holed leather viper is one of the most dine-gerous snikes in the living room! -the late Steve Irwin

 03/11/2009 04:24:17 AM
Nice idea. I like the detail in the carpet because it looks like grass.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:00:52 AM
very interesting piece of creativity displayed here. the background seems a little unusual: perhaps it's the exposure or something but it doesn't seem to quite work. good luck: 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 09:18:59 PM
so very curious how you did this...I am guessing fishing line, wish the tones were a bit "richer"
