Comment by tanguera:
A bit exuberant with the contrast... But a solid capture, which did not need the tweety bird border.

Maybe I'm being influenced by the yellow border (I'm amused to have seen a few in this challenge), but I can absolutely see this as a picture in NG. There's a story here ... probably quite a few of them.

good subject and a 'N.G.' border!

Comment by giantmike:
The blur of the flag add a lot of interest to this scene, and somewhat makes it comes alive.

Comment by EL-ROI:
Nice use of slow shutter speed to add some dynamic motion to the scene. I think it is a hair bright and a tad red, but overall very good.

How odd. The flag is blowing, but the wind vain isn't... you get an extra point for bizarre physics.

Comment by mariuca:
Just a touch too much background IMO. These kind of "vanitas" seem to be better when more condensed or with a very dark background. As I play with the position of the picture on my screen, I find it very effective if the entire top, from the top of the apple would be cropped (the skull would have to be repositioned somehow).
Of course that I am splitting hair now but I do it only with really good images. (I voted early but had no time for comments)

Extra points for the real red rat snake.

Wish the snakes head was in focus.
