I don't like snakes. I wish they did not exist. But, when I see a photo of one, I vote on the image quality. I don't think every snake image has an underlying message or do I think the person who photographed the snake is evil.

I really, really hate snakes, though. :D

This is a fabulously done image. The technicals are wonderfully satisfied.

I hate guns but it doesn't mean this not a very good image.

Otherwise we couldn't watch western movies :)

It looks like a movie scene (as many of the front page images, included mine).

Congrats on the WD red!

+++ What tanguera said. Great image. Congrats on the red.

To add, this is a success on many fronts. You won a ribbon, you invoked strong opinions.
