Green Rope Snake


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Green Rope Snake
Green Rope Snake
This is another image that I took at the Cleveland Zoo this past Saturday!

I really love how the s-curve of the snake along with the DoF give this image a 3-dimensional feel..almost like the snake is coming out of the image and right at you.

  Your real 3-d snake looks so much better than my "fake 3-d snake" image I posted a month or so ago! Love the GREEN and the 3-d effect!

Very vivid color in your snake. A little close for comfort for me but enjoy viewing him in an image.

Like the way the snake is posed. Kerby

  Donald, I am so glad I found your gallery. I love your work. This is my favorite because I am a real fan of snakes. I also loved the pretty little fishy and the hibiscus closeup. I am an abstract painter so the spin series is wonderful to see, as well. I am new to photography, so people like you are an inspiration.
