wow!
what kind of snake is it?

congrats on the feature.

Thanks Vernon. It's a bull snake from Arizona, USA

this is an absolutely brilliant photograph!!!
the detail on the head and the worn parts of the book make it perfect!!
amazing!!!!!

What an unusual setting and portrait. Was he trying to spell P-E-T-S for the other topic? :D

Nice shot - love the tone and clarity as well as the contrast.

Just the printing keys would have been great for this category. The snake just pushes this over the top. Excellent mood to this through the toning.

very exotic!

congrats on the feature stephen :-)

Nice letter and snake of course. What type of snake?

Thanks Vernon and agrimace. It is a leaf-nosed snake.

I just love your work.

The way you incorporate reptiles and amphibians with dark tones and simple props fascinates me. It's like Harry Potter meets the medieval era. All your photographs are feature worthy. You are very good at what you do. I truly mean that.

Thanks, Thelma

Great shot! The subject and the off-subject are perfectly composed. The DOF looks great and sharpness on the toad is perfect. As Blizz said, the tones in this photo are awesome. Nice job.

Great shot with great DOF and composition.
