She looks real nice, I love the pattern, lots of yellow in her too! Your camera skills seem to be improving as well
As far as colors of bloods in sunlight, it has to do with the color that is in the light.. I'm not an expert but from what I understand theres alot of red and yellow in the light spectrum of sunlight so when the sunlight hits the snake it cant absorb as much of it and reflects back the extra color ..or atleast that is what I remember from magnet art in high school... I still don't trust the public school system so I could be completely wrong.. there is some photography expert lurking around on the boards here somewhere tho..
