Challenge:Lines (Advanced Editing IV) Camera:Canon EOS-300D Rebel Location: Back Yard, Walnut Creek, CA Date: Mar 12, 2005 Aperture: f/2.8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/250 Galleries:Animals Date Uploaded: Mar 13, 2005
My daughter's baby albino corn snake, named Rudy, was very patient with me while I wrapped him around this grid by turning the grid this way and that. The diffuse light is due to the tent we have set up in the backyard. I prefered another shot but since it is her snake , she got to choose. Shot in RAW, exp pushed down a stop, converted to TIFF, sat raised 12 then yellow sat raised the same. Contrast bumped 10, usm @ 160,.5,0. A touch of burn & dodge on the head of the snake. Saved for web and USM @ 160, 0.5, 0.

My roommate just got a snake that looks almost identical to this. I actually put a link to this pic in a thread where I am asking for suggestions on a name for him. In this shot you stated he was a baby...is he still pretty friendly now that he is older?
there is something naturally disturbing about this picture. it might be the lack of harmony amongst the oranges and pinks or might frankly be that snake. great title, and you stuck to challenge.
You've captured a uniquly interesting shot here. Great use of color and line, different textures form a nice contrast. Only detraction is that focus seems a bit soft in spots
The girder is a little oversaturated, but this is an interesting shot. If you cropped it a tad more, the girder would be more like a frame. Since the background is entirely black and doesn't disturb, I think you could add a little more depth to make the snake completely in focus.
