Giving his owner (NOT ME) a massage...

You obviously had reasons to convert this to mono but I just think the colours of these things are just fantastic and not convinced black and white does the creature justice.
You went for a very natural DOF and achieved that admirably but the out of focus sleeve bottom right is a distraction I feel

Thanks Billy. I didn't want to distract from critique with color. You are correct. I did not do this reptile justice, but then he doesn't get to decide. :-)

I think agreement with Billy is warranted in this case. Being a b/w man one would assume that this version would be the stronger in my eyes. However, this image doesn't hold for me and it's probably due to a lack of the animal's colours.
Could be quite wrong.
Otherwise, a very intriguing photograph. I am a snake lover - from afar that is. I deeply admire the adaptive process that brought this animal about on the face of the earth. And to think, it brought an apple to Eve - or so the composite arts tell us.

The sharpest focus seems to be on the sleeve. I would prefer that it had been place on the head of the snake, especially the eye.

you are right. With my poor vision I totally missed that and had to blowit uo barn size to see that.
Still, its a very snaky picture. lol

Thanks Sandra, but the sharpest focus is on the eye. Of course, I suspect nearby elements on the same focal plane would also be sharp (i.e. the sleeve below the eye). Perhaps the B&W version makes it more difficult to see. I'll post the color version in another thread, and perhaps it will become more apparent? Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your comments Jim. I'll post a color version of this guy, since B&W doesn't seem to be very popular. :-)
