I took this shot in a dark room with no flash. I exposed the image for 16 s with the aperature at f2/8. Luckily my model was able to stay very still so she is still in clear focus, even down to the scales.

Thanks for the comments. I took the picture much larger, but I thought that the rules called for the smaller size. I may have misread them. I also don't know what that glare on the head is. The lights were out in the room. It may be from the light in the other room. I didn't think it would leave a glare, but there it is. I like the way it looks after LadeeM rotated it as well. It adds a lot to the composition I think.
I wish I could have gotten the whole snake in the photo, she was about 2 feet long. But she was stretched out and she would have looked too small in the shot.

I understand where you're going here, but I think your pic is a little too dark...I don't think you need it this dark to convey the message of darkness you're trying to get across.
I also wonder why you resized it to 460...stick with 640 if possible...
What an awesome potential shot. You gott great shapes and textures. Too bad your focus is off. It could also be a bit larger. PM me after the challenge if ya need help on resizing!
