ohh, excellent shot. i'm thinking even crop closer. great subject, sharp too.

nice capture!
I like the composition and the color +9

Great shot. Beautiful snake. I agree with cnell that this could be cropped closer.

I love the way the snake has coiled! Great shot.

I agree with the above. I would love to see a little more detail in his face and eye.

Beautiful shot !! The light is gr8, the snake is at a higher contrast than the bg so pops out well.. to enhance the effect i would do slight burning of the area..
Yes of course a tighter crop, cause this way the image has two distinct parts divided by the vertical root/stem that runs midway through the image. One half has the snake & other doesn't help ur beautiful capture in any way...!! Hence get a tighter crop with some burning of the bg to avoid getting the image divided !! +9

Beautiful green "fellow"....!

A closer crop has been mentioned and I do agree!

Where was this caught?

Edit: Cropped version is even nicer! (Jasså Skansen... Kanske att man ska göra ett litet besök där också )

oh wow does that snake have beautiful textures. I get inspired by all the photography on this site, and yours is no exception... +10

Cool color on that snake ! Well done

Awesome!
I like how green of the snake stands out from brownish/greyish background.
I don't think that cropping right side of picture would be that good, because now it adds to the "feeling". There's nice contrast and those parts of the tree/roots are kinda like another snake. If at all, i would just crop vertically right side, so the plant there would go away.

+5/5

love the snake's pose and colour.excellent composition.

Great capture Stina!.....The green colors are beautiful!......I may have used a closer crop....but just my taste.

I've added a somewhat closer crop and dakoo, when I get time I'll give the bg a try to. Thanks!

Great capture. I would like to see a closer view. +8/10

Very good capture Stina. I like the way the colors of the snake stand out from the background. The tighter crop works well too!

WOW

Wow, is right,
Excellent capture.

aw ive never seen colors like that and hey beautiful shot!!!
keep on doin' the good work

Apart from the cropping issue I think this looks great. the vivid green looks great against the earthy coulered background

i dont even know what to say, spectacular.... amazing nature is! I gave you as large a score i could (+7)

The green snake is a great focus/point of interest. You achieved nice color contrasts, the green stands out a lot but doesn't seem out of place, for you have some other touches of (darker) green elsewhere in the image.

My only critique is that the snake's head almost touches the tree trunk, which slightly weakens the composition.

Great shot! That snake it's so beautiful!
Very nice composition! +10

Great photo. I love that green. Other part of photo could be totaly desaturated.
