[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One hot summer morning, we found this very smelly "parcel" (ca. 80 mm long), hanging on a long spider thread inside the garage.
It appeared, a spider had killed this baby snake, wrapped it up but found it too heavy to winch it up to it's nest...

I had to photograph it in the garage, because I wanted to avoid the whole parcel disintegrating.

I uploaded this photo as a "documentary"; the body of the snake is not very well visible - particularly where the web is thicker.

THIS IS A REPOST - I adjusted exposure i.e. darkened photo, increased contrast and slightly adjusted colour

Hi Ingrid,

Yes, like this time is better. Details are clearer and the overall picture is better.
Have a beautiful Saturday,
Adrian

Hi Ingrid
I found a dried baby lizard hanging this way a couple of months ago.
It is beter to set an exposure bias on the camera before to take the picture than adjusting it after in Photoshop.
It is even beter to equilibrate lights between subject and background:
- with a fill in flash
- or by inserting a grey paper behing the subject
with either of those 2 ways you should get much more details.
