Excellent detail on the subject. Very crisp and clear. The background color is nice, though the green thing is a distraction (even though its blurred out). Fits the challenge in general, and I get an abstract feeling of solitude - mainly because I know many don't like snakes so that would lead to its exclusion. Lighting is great. A solid image. 7
Pos .. Superb macro shot!! The background looks amazin! I love the little smirk that snake has on his face - its so deceptive! ;) The focus, composition and colors are all great, excellent picture!
Neg .. It would be nice if that green blotch wasn't there..
Snakes are often alone, people are often scared when they are alone, the snake looks scared. Good picture and unless that is a pet snake, I admire you for taking it.
