I like the processing and how everyone is looking at the big moment. Would be nice to have focus on boy, but I know sometimes the camera just gets it wrong and it's better to get the shot than not at all.

Excellent detail, I love how their heads are positioned in relation to each other. Love the interesting blue/green lighting too, this is really nice!

Very nice and bold colors. The processing seems to have blurred it slightly, could just be me....

the reaction of the parents in the background and the focus on them makes this very interesting. A very special moment for sure.

The way they are coiled up together they almost look cuddly, but I'll leave that to them!

Years ago, there was a Freudian rumor circulating that a fear of snakes was a subconscious fear of the male genetalia. Well, I don't know if I agree with that because I've never seen a phallus w/fangs. These are obviously rattlers and they are to be avoided. As kids, we spent weekends at our parents' hunters cabin in Sinnamahoning, PA and were told adamantly to not stray too far from the cabin because we might get bit by a rattle snake. Of course, no one ever did but that was probably my only real fear of snakes. When I lived in High Point, NC, my cat cornered a Coppperhead and had its head pinned down on the ground with one paw. The neighbors, who had small children were amazed to see this and greatful that my cat was able to disable this venomous snake before one of the children encountered it. These days, the only snakes I see are the harmless garden variety, also called garter snakes, that live in rock piles as a natural habitat and come out to sun themselves when the weather is nice.

I like your closeup with the focus on the two heads. Very nice detail and color.
