Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have been looking over this forum..........I like your ideas of critiquing others pics........I have a few i want to put up to get your opinions......

I have been an avid photographer for a long time........I realy enjoy landscapes and wildlife photograhpy, but since I keep herps I have lots of subjects to work with on the regular......

Here is the first of many I will post over time......

One of my signature Ball Pythons...

The Super Stripe Yellowbelly

looking forward to your responses....

First of all, I'm not really into the different BP morphs, but that is a beautiful snake!

As for the photo, I'm really not sure how I feel about the loop of body in the foreground. Normally that massive blurred object in the foreground would diminish the image for me and I would suggest repositioning yourself or the snake. However, in this in this case I am undecided.

Yes, it is distracting, but somehow the continuity of the yellow stripe brings ties it in to the rest of the picture in a way that may make it a positive contribution.

Interesting shot, either way. And gorgeous snake. As soon as they are selling for a reasonable price (i.e. $100 or less) I wouldn't mind owning one.

Well Jared, I happen to be very into the BP morphs...lol...and that thing is absolutely gorgeous For all the non-believers out there, let me say it like this...Note to self: Invest $20,000 (??) in a Genetic Stripe YB male...raise it up to breeding size in 8 - 12 months...breed him to 6 or 7 females...pay-off my house, take care of the remainder of my 19 yr. old daughter's college tuition, pick out what color Hummer H2 that looks best on me, and holdback 2-3 pick of the litters...lol......believe...
