Your first pic didn't work because you posted the link to the photo on your personal computer, which we can't access.

This one worked, but rather than post a link to the site, you can usually just post the URL of the photo in the image URL box below the message entry box and it should show up directly in your post. Just go to the website that is hosting it and right-click on the photo and cut/paste the image URL from the pop up window that appears.

This is what I did here. However, some sites don't allow you to use your pics this way and people see a red X in place of the image (I don't know what you are seeing here?).

An easier alternative is to load them into the free gallery at kingsnake.com (click photo gallery above) and then you can post them in by choosing them from a pull down menu below the text entry box. That's how I inserted the snake skin picture.

thanks for the tech-advice,will do.

Palazzo photo,

First off I will say I am not a fan of "studio style" (that is plain white or black backgrounds) I much prefer natural or "pseudo-natural" backgrounds, very much personal preference.

I think the 2 keys to any animal pics are:
deep of field...more the better
focus on the eye!....nothing worse than a great pic composed beautifully and a slightly out of focus eye.

The rainbow I feel is lacking in D.O.F and the eye is not crisp.

The anole is'nt to bad however I would try to pose the lizard in such a manner to maximise focus the side on "U" shape pose.

The chameleon is under exposed.

The bearded Dragon pic is not bad again I hate that background (besides beardeds don't come out at night in the wild)

The Corallus is by far the best shot (I just don't like the background)

Sorry if I sound harsh, You have real talent and hope you understand it is not personal shots at you. Out of curiosity what camera(s) are you using?

Regards,
Scott Eipper
