[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I upload again this shot after doing some editing on CS. I decreased a lot of shadows, increased and correct colours at Lab colour mode, put a copy layer on it on low opacity with some gaussian blur and cropped it in a new composition. It is not such a good photo but i like the subject so i tried to do something better. Here is the first post of the photo: "Hanging..."

The snake is a juvenile Elaphe quatuorlineata, "four-lined snake". You can find general information of this species at the note of a previous photo here: "Elaphe quatuorlineata"

Hi Ilias,

Much better than the original one

Hi Ilias

You've done some really good PP here in my opinion. The subject stands out much better than in the original shot. The shaddow reduction and sharpnening are a great improvement. i like the new crop too. A great result.

Hello Ilias,
Thanks for your critique on my recent Lizard image.
I have glanced at your portfolio and noticed that you specialize in reptiles, especially snakes. I am scared of snakes!!!
Anyway, this is a great shot by way of a subject, as you mention in your note. I have never seen a snake hanging from a tree.
I am sure you would be making better pictures with the passage of time.

Both reptile shots are great Ilias,
I prefer the original, although this one has very good compositional value for the money :)
Great PS technique, thanx for the notes on how you did this..
Well done!
Howard

Nice shot. The hanging snale looks very interesting. May be a little more light on the snake and a little darker road wud have looked even better. ANyways, great work.
