Is the question as to what kind of snake this is? Or why you have christmas lights up in July? lol. I think I'd prefer to see the interesting side of the snake. We can't really see his head or the lovely pattern on his back. The underside of him is kind of dark as well, taking away some detail. Lighting conditions look a little harsh, as can be seen around the edges of the fingers that are on the sky. DOF is good to get the house out of the way and make it non distracting, but your house is leaning, so it makes it distracting anyway. Big snake though. Definately interesting subject, just not displayed in the most interesting way. ~Heather~

Nice job. Ballons are hard to get because they don't wait for you. 6

Nice shot of the balloon here, but it's a pity that the sky appears so drab as it detracts a bit from the picture for me. A Bright Blue sky would have certainly helped :)
Also the background feels as though its sloping to the left a little

Great clear capture. Too much empty space to the left. Why not elongate the crop?

Nice balloon, but the scenery is a little blaa. I probably would have cropped out most of the left side. Too bad the sky isn't more interesting.
