Ray, I really like the first image.. nice job buddy..

The second needs to be focused back just a hair more to get the eyes, however its a great comp.

The last is very nice too.

Chad... cool of you to critque, and much appreciated! Yes, I wish I had the eyes in focus on the second, but it was moving, and a really tough shot to get... wish I had the D3 @ 800 iso, for more speed!

Next time!

I didn't like the circle around the head on this one, so I just messed with it a bit... worse or better?

Not much for snakes Ray,

Personally I think you left the best one on your site - - -

Needless to say Maria with a snake around her neck.

# 1 or 4 would be my top pick.

Either version works for me.

Very different shooting for you Ray and you did a great job with it. Will agree that rework of #1 looks excellent and #3 is a pretty bold shot too.

thanks to everyone for the cool comments., so much appreciated!

I really didn't think snakes would get much of a reaction., most people are just not interested!!

Ray it is your name not the snakes that folks are reacting to. The snakes are cool BTW. I like the first one the way you had it first, circle/highlight looks natural.
