Wow Such a clear macro The colour is just amazing
I love how you've centered the head (in particular) the eye, in the center of the piece Very effective

Thanks - of course he does! He's like, mega-hard. He has the tattoo so the other snakes know who's in charge.

I know one or two of mine that don't mind snakes. But the ones that like snakes for some reason all seem to be scared of spiders. I reckon tarantualas and the like are cute too. I'm just a lil nuts in that respect

ArtisticStorm In reply to Narked-Photographer [2011-01-03 01:16:11 +0000 UTC]

most definately! smooth and awesome! They don't excrete any slime whatsoever (or.. well, some do but not the ones you usually hold)

Exactly! Least fun one I held was an aggresive female Cali King. She was cute though.

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. I am pretty proud of this one at the moment. Seems like Cotswold is good for reptile photos, lighting is pretty reasonable - so maybe more in the future
