Pulled a "leaf" out of J Chandler's book of photographical magic and thought I'd give it a shot, what do you think?

Yeah, ol Chandler should of got himself a patent on that! :lol:

Beautiful snakes....Keep in mind that the next comment is coming from the photographer in me...

on the first pic... you can see where the background has a break in it (top right corner).... I would use PS and clone in that area with white.

on the third pic... I would try to blur out the leaf in the forground with PS so you cant see the fake texture.... I do really love that 3rd pic though. Great Pose of the snake... and I love the closeup nature.

Wolf's got a good eye I didnt even notice that leaf. All I saw was big fat lemon colored snake :)

Looks good scooter!!! :rockon:

I guess I need to get PS... I don't have it, I did these pretty quickly last night before bed. Kind of a test run to see if they'd come out ok... to see what the fake stuff would look like really.... before I started taking more pics of other things.

It seemed to really show up the animals, I think sometimes when they are photographed on a pure white or black back ground and nothing else, it can take away from the animal.

I appreciate the comments.... always open to constructive critique. :)

I like those pictures the way they are :yessir: Those little imperfections keep things real and not fake I think :rockon: Sweet Pastel!!

Let me know, your not that far away.... if your "itch" gets too bad and maybe this season we can get a trade rolling or something.... you have some stuff I'd love to have! :cheers:

LOL...that's the worst part, Scott...you are going to make it way too easy for me once the addiction gets a good grip on me...and with all the big females I had come in, I'll sure have lots to trade...

When I first considered breeding a few years back, I spent months trying to decide between balls and boas...the only reason the boas won out is because I had no experience with hatching eggs...

I saw some awesome ball morphs at the Denver show earlier this summer (not the most recent one, but around mothers day, I think?) ...wow I have to say a lot of those just have to be seen in person...I was blown away by a few there:eek: Pics over the internet just are not the same...

The least I can do is make it easy.... lol

I try to hit all those Denver shows, but sometimes miss a few during the winter if the weather is bad. I agree, nothing like seeing any morph in person.... the old saying that pics don't do them justice is true.... it really is for any animal I think.

Hatching eggs isn't hard.... you'd do well.... (trying my best to irritate that itch)..lol.... no, really it isn't hard to hatch em out.
