Nice snap of a couple of girls holding the boa. Wish you could have done a macro on its skin. Or maybe even a close-up that showed some snake and some of one of their hair and neck. However, since they're not looking at the camera, I'm guessing they don't nkow you and this was just an opportune time to shoot. The background is so light -- you did a good job keeping them out of the shadows. They look a little soft on the focus, but nothing that I could feel justified in ranting to you about. :-)
This is how these young ladies have fun? While an interesting shot, it could be improved with some sharpening, which should be done after resizing. It would also help if the background were blurred by using a low f/stop, which I realize isn't possible with all cameras nor very effective with many due to small CCDs.
I hate to sound harsh - this is a fairly competant snapshot. If the too girls had been looking at the camera then it would have been a very competant snapshot. Apart from that and too much dof and an untidy background there's nothing really wrong with it. However, snapshots are seldom great pictures. This would probably be very appealing to parents/friends of the girls but doesn't rate highly in a competition.
Photo is composed nicely, and the lighting is good. Although this has nothing at all to do with the image's quality, I must say I am concerned about exotic animals being out of their environment. They require very special needs. Of course this may be in a zoo or something. I see a stamp on one of the young lady's hand. I hope that is the case. Ok....stepping off my milk crate now....oooooops...I fell! No offense I hope. Nice job with your photo.... :-)
these two girls look a lot like two of my former students. (I am trying not to look at the snake!) I prefer feather boas, so these gals have my respect. :-) There is a little too much clutter in the background, for me. karmat
i would try to focus on something in particular to make this more interesting. like zooming into the snake only, or cropping to show the expressions of the girls withthe snake on them.
Too me, the composition of the shot doesnt really make the snake stand out. Maybe if you tried getting a shot of just one of the girls with the snake, with the head in a more visible position. 6
