Wasn't a member when this challenge was run, but I think this fits perfectly with your style. I like that you did it in black and white too. Adds to the effect of the disparity in size between the two snakes. I found the foreground a little distracting but my eye was definitely drawn to the snakes heads. Sometimes DoF can play tricks on perception for the viewer that the photographer doesn't see. Overall nice image. I just wonder how you got them to 'pose' for this shot. Everytime I have tried to shoot a snake it never works. They just won't sit still. Nice job. Would have given it a 7 or 8 first round and probably bumped it up.

I think this would do better if it were in color.

This a bit creepy...since i hate snakes! But the image is pretty cool looking, there is alot of detail in the scales of the baby snake. Plus the baby with the mom is very cute!

As an animal nut, I love it! It would have been awesome to have a bit of clarity on that close piece of the big snake; such an intersting texture, but still an awesome shot.

i was having this idea of a snake changing his skin for this challenge but i guess one have to be very lucky to shoot that
brave capture
