i think this picture would have been much more interesting from a different angle. may be perhaps from an angle where you see the dragons face and teh body of the dragon blurs into distance. but since i dont exactly know what the actual dragon looks like, i might be wrong...this photo seems too busy this way..

Looks like it has blood on its teeth. Is this the color or the lighting or post processing? It's quite effective, whatever.

Very much a Chinese dragon instead of European. The reflections make it hard to see the details though. Good close-up.

Good Composition. I believe lighting was off producing some hot overexposed spots.

I think this is pretty good. I don' t like the hot spots too well, but the rest of it is pretty good. 7

Nice composition but not enogh articulation between the tail and the open mouth so the mood is undercut a little.

Marvelous dragon. I like all the details in the scales. The light on the right is a bit glaring. A shallower depth of field would blur out the parts int the background and make the face "pop" out a bit more.
