Taken at a recent workshop., captive snakes and a ton of very challenging frames!

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

PS me first

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?

Nice snakes..... the first one is my top pic

Interesting study Raymond

I do like the re-work of the first one the best of the set, nice clean, dramatic image.

Tim

Very cool shots of some cool snakes!

I sure miss my carpet pythong, can't say the same for the blood I used to have...

Very nicely done... ....#2 made me jump back...thought he was going to nail me right through my screen....

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.

Lil

Outstanding comp in #1 Ray, do like the modifications you made I've got your site bookmarked but thanks for the link buddy

Tom

This is a completely different workshop that I expect from you,Ray. Cool snake
shots. I like the first one best but the last one is also excellent.

Hide

Nice set Ray, #1 has it here lovely comp.

Carl

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.

Karl

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.

Rob

Great work Ray. #2 makes me want to run away from the computer.

Morris

thanks very much Rob and Morris!!

here is one for Lil...
