Looks great to me. Unusual pose for a snake--really works.

I'm not a natrue shooter but seems it would be better if the head stppd apart from the body in the background.

Thanks guys.

Good colors!

I agree with previous comments about having the head "reaching out" from the body, kind of like peeking out. Also, try cropping off some of the sky on the right and a tiny bit off the bottom, since the snake is too centered in the middle of the frame.

Very nice work. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure I like the PVC pipe perch. Posed in a tree might give you nicer light, a better pose, and a more natural background. If it was looking at the camera, it would give the shot some drama.

Looks like a nice carpet python too, I know how hard they are to pose. good luck with it!

Great shot and color. For me the pole is OK gives a modern feel to it and something out of the ordinary. Nice composition too. S

The pvc pipe was the closest thing at hand at the time.
I'm sure some of you know how to impervise.

Thank you for the kind words all
and thank you for looking.

Nice angle and beautiful color scheme.

Perhaps getting separation between his head and body would be better, but the fact that you have such a clean outline of the top of his head and there is a good contrast between the white of his chin and that dark shadow works very well IMO. And how would you persuade your model to pose, anyway!!?

Based on your composition, I think the clean lines of the PVC and your subject work well together.
