Here are some fairly nice shots of an adult Suriname Male.



I tell you what, I messed around with Photoshop for a couple of months, thinking I could use it as a substitude for bad picture taking and I will not touch it again, except for a little sharpening to correct slight blurring and for labeling.



There is no substitute, for learning how to use a camera and correct lighting too represent a Boa as honestly as possible.



I want people to see my Boas or buy the ones I sell and know that they look even better in person.



I am not the best picture taker in the world, but none of my friends and customers have complained about anything being misrepresented.



I use to think that Photoshop, in the right hands could only benefit pictures, but after receiving Boas in the past that look nothing in color, in person, like they did in the picture " I am having second thoughts about it being good in any hands? "



It is amazing what a " tad more or less saturation, contrast, tint, temperature ect.ect.ect.ect., can do to bring out the best in the Boa that is pictured, but how come so many do not look quite the same in person, Hmmm? "



I understand now, why a few people on the forum were giving me heck about using it, but I tried to make them understand that I was just playing around with it, to see what it did and I seen and I do not like it after just fooling around with it.



It sounds that there are more than a few people that have been burned by Photoshoped Pictures and maybe those that use it, need to stop, even though I am sure they would come on here and type up a bunch of spiritually inspired words on how they know the proper usages of it. LOL



Good pictures come with patience and taking a whole lot of them before you find that one or two, that you know in your heart, represents the Boa as honestly as you can possibly represent it.



When you finally get that " one good shot, " it will be better than anything ran through Photoshop anyway, because it is showing the Boa for it's true beauty.



I hope to get better at taking pictures " I enjoy it, " but you just have to keep on snapping and these pictures represent this male at least 98% and only sharpened them slightly to remove some slight blurring.



Thanks, for letting me ramble and I will not look for any tea party invitations this week! LOL
