Here are your three images. When you use the KS gallery and link to an image directly from the pull down menu, it often adds a the extra -med to the end of the name. This causes the image size to be reduced slightly and it often reduces the quality somewhat.



The best way to do it is to just type your URL directly in the message box and include the URL in IMG tags (see the tools and toys link below the message entry box).



As for your photos...





I like the idea and composition of this shot. I would like to see a little more depth of field. It might be better, if possible, if you could get the coils flatter so they are all in focus.







I like this shot a lot, but you are right that a little fill flash would have brought out the face better. I don't know how you do it with your camera, but either a slow shutter sync or dialing down the flash power around 0.7 stops or so will get the effect you want.





This shot shows some of the problems with natural light at sometimes. In this picture the contrasty light takes away from the snake and distracts the eye from the subject. A large diffuser placed between the snake and the sun will even out the light without altering the natural color. Large collapsible white diffuser disks are good for this, but a white plastic garbage bag or even a white snake bag can do the same thing.
