Now that's getting in tight!
Colors really work, DOF & exposure are spot on, what more to say?
Great shot.

Love the drama created by the lighting. Maybe a little tighter crop and off center placement of the subject could possibly have made this even better.

Beautifully executed shot of a dramatic location. I wonder if this would have worked even better framed vertically to eliminate the column at left?

Good focus & exposure. The flat grey background, while it does not detract, doesn't do much to enhance either.

Very nice choice of framing and composition. The colors are beautiful. Excellent use of sun-in-frame.

Beautiful capture, that is not an easy shot to get, and you nailed it! you rarely see a swallowtail that perfect this time of year, so you had luck on your side also.
Makes me want to see the full-resolution image.

Very nice composition; the shadow is wonderful. Your title is a perfet choice, it evokes the mood you want to convey with a single word. Good use of soft focus.
I have two suggestions:
- Rotate to align the boards to vertical
- Correct the slight barrel distortion to straighten the lines
Well done all in all, a possible ribbon contender with just the right tweaks.

I very much ike the concept; there are a few things you could do to improve the execution. A difuse light source woiuld work better with the reflective skin of the snake, and a bit darker background would possibly work better; it is overexposed here. Did you use an incandescant light? The color balance looks quite reddish. You can correct this in software, or your camera may be able to compensate. If you have the camera's white balance set to manual, it may have been fooled, this is not uncommon.

Nice perspective, good focus 7 exposure, pleasing tones. Could possibly benefit from just a bit more contrast, and just maybe a hint more saturation... no, contrast is enough.
