Great snake close-up. The color cast seems a bit too green/yellow, IMO.

Cute? If you say so :P Great focus! Lighting seems a little weird and the photo seems more grey than it should be, but the eye is just so distinct. 7

awesome, is this guy venomous? This is a cool composition, kind of like the snake picture I did, but mine wasn't as good. 10

The colors of the mosaic tiles are extremely strong and eye catching in the front. As the eye drifts back into the picture the colors become richer but not as bright. Still farther back you have the grays and violets that work great together and are very much subdued. This change in brightness and colors works very well with your choice of using a shallow depth of field. I read the comments below and feel that most of the people who give advice do not understand the artistic value of shallow depths of field or realize that this just might be what the photographer was trying to accomplish. Your composition is strong, especially with just the two letters in the background. These two letters force the viewer to try and complete the word or wonder what was said.A complete word would have left nothing for the viewer to imagin. I feel this is a well thought out work that is a very strong yet simple image. When I look at an image I try to imagine what I would do to make it better, if possible. One of the things that could have made this a stronger image would be to add something that would give it a 3 dementional look. Perhaps placing a chess piece or some other object where the one white tile is in the upper right hand corner. Give it a try and see if the image improves. Great job! JG

What a sweetheart! Very cute. I wish your border were a bit more delicate, though. It seems to overpower the fine details in this guy's skin.

I'm not sure "cute" is the right word, but this is a great shot. :) Very good composition and DOF.
