Beautiful shot. Great lighting and composition. I love the rain. It adds a lot to the natural feel of the snake's environment. One of my top picks. I should add that this is one of my ribbon winners.
Ick! Eeww! Gross! This photo makes me want to grab my blanket and hide in the safetly of my living room! But regardless of my distaste of the content, it is a very well done image and you obviously had to endure some discomfort to capture it. Very good work - 10
The streaming rain makes this shot. We don't see many photos with rain in them, and you have not only captured it nicely, but you have a nice composition and subject. Well done. -danny
If the blue light was turned off, this would have been a 10 and hopefully a ribbon winner. The blue light kills this image, sorry. The composition is awesome, subject really stands out in its natural behavior. You gotta try to reshot this without the blue lamp, would make an awesome image. Giving you 8 for the most excellent composition!
