| Thanks for all the great comments! This python is my pet and only about 3.5 feet long and will not bite - I was safe the entire time! Personally I like my reflection in his eye...I had to crop it so tight because his tail is looped around him near his head and it looked horrible until I cropped it out... |

| Nicely done. Personally, I wish the reflection of the person wasn't in the eye -- but I'm sure you have otehr people telling you they like it -- so what do I know. I hate snakes -- but I have this morbid curiosity to capture them on film. During a recent trip to the zoo, I managed to capture a rattlesnake yawning -- the pictures weren't very good cauz I was kinda freaking out. Anyway -- good lighting, nice back and foregrounds. good composition with the snake. If the tongue had been out, now that would have added the icing to the cake. :-) |

| Nice macro but perhaps a little too tight for my taste. Still a good shot though. 7-ClubJuggle |

| To be honest -- voting on thumbnail. hate snakes. don't want to see full-size. two extra points just 'cause I won't look at it. (would've gotten a 10 from me in the fear challenge.) I think I'm going to pass out now, it downloaded before i could finish commenting. *shudder* karmat |

| Awesome photo, This is one of my favorites for this challenge. Great color, excellent angle, it clearly shows it̢۪s enormous size. Nice clear focus, I can actually see you in the snake̢۪s eye. The green in the background and the brown on the ground give the feeling of a natural habitat. (I like it). 9 |

| Great focus but I'm, personaly, not a fan of the way it is cropped. I would like to see a bit more of the head. |

I'd be willing to bet money this one wins. Getting this close to a deadly snake (I'm assuming its deadly) and getting the colors just right, It deserves a:

| Really nice face shot. Needs more depth of field for this close. I like how you appear in the snake's eye. Great color! 8 Swash |

| Eeww. I don't like snakes too much, but this is an excellent composition with lovely depth of field and colors. I'm so sad you're in the photograph as a reflection in his eye :) The good news is that you could probably clone it out (afterwards) without too much trouble, and probably most people wont notice... |

| Interesting perspective. I like the crop on the shot, although it would be nice to see a bit more of his head. I know it's hard sometimes though with the shots needing to be a specific dimesion for entry. |

| The detail of this is great and creates a photo that gathers a response from me (I'm afraid!). Would have worked well for the fear challenge, I bet. Is that your reflection in the eyes? You're braver than I am! |

07/15/2002 01:46:00 PM |
| You've really pushed your limits on this one. The clarity, DOF, color and crop are all perfect. I like being able to see you in it's eye. It just adds to the whole picture:) = 10 Shiiizzzam |

| Nice closeup of a snake. I might have tried a more extreme angle on the face though, not as much from the side. |
