Feedback- awsome. great color. Maybe if the eye was a little more visible, hard to say say anything could be better, this is a wonderful shot I think.

Thanks Bob! I appreciate the critique.

Thanks Karen! I'm ok with snakes, but being from the land of rattlers, I was glad there was glass between me and this guy....

Pam this is excellent hun... wonderful feel with the color and comp here... the lighting is wonderful... but would say to that if there was one thing that I wish popped just a bit would be his super yellow eye... but that would be the only thing and still without it it's a excellent take hun :)

Thanks, Jill! Do you know anyway (in PS) that I could get the eye to pop without washing out the rest of his body?

always ways... lol
I would use the magic wand and then go into variations and see what it gives me and if it brings to a pop color stage then I think removing the reflection would be the next step...if not I would color it from within the yellow(the bright part already in the eye... gads I so suck at givng instructions...lol thats why I am a photographer not a teacher...lol
mainly though you just need to go in and just work the eye not anything else in the photographer... good luck :)
