Nice display of texture: would make a wonderful pair of boots. Just kidding. You have lit this subject well, and it really shows the texture and colors wonderfully. karmat
The texture on this photo is excellent. I think this image could use more depth of field... the background in the upper right is ok as it is, but I think the scales in the foreground are a little distracting being that far out of focus. = 6 - jmsetzler
Snakes are of great interest to me, and I love the texture of their skin. Too bad you cant show in a photo how they can absorb heat from your body, which in turn seems to change the very texture of their skin.
Nice shot...although I'd like to see the skin filling up the whole shot instead of leaving that white space in the upper right corner. I still like it though.
Very interesting picture. My eye is a little disturbed by the white in the background, and it would have been nice if you could have carried the depth of field a little further back.
probably cookd have use a greater depth of field. the coil of snake that moves into blur is destracting, especially with the over highlited areas in that blur.
Its not easy photographing round objects close up.
