I like this shot. It would be perfect (to me) if the closest branches were more focused. I like the effect you have with the fog.

Your absolutely right about the focus. I was using a long (macro/zoom) lens and had trouble grabing the snake and getting the macro lens rotated. Took two shots and missed most of the body in the second. Thought about layering the other photo that has a focused head but I'm not that good yet. Needed a tripod for this work but you take what you can get. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Yes it was. It's eyes are blue and cloudy and you can see some of the skin losing its luster near the mouth...sure sign of molting. Makes most snakes kinda cranky. This one stayed mostly still for the shot. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Cute little guy in my opinion. I'm guessing by the cloudy eyes that it's ready to shed.

Hi Garold,
Thanks for your recent comment to me. I appreciate it. You have a nice portfolio and a good eye for landscapes/scenery. I've read some comments to you that maybe adding some levels/contrast, etc. would boost your photos and I agree. I think with just a little extra "pop" your photos would be truly outstanding.
This particular photo reminds me of a pen and ink drawing and I think it's very nice. Keep up the good work!  )
Susie

Your BW looks nice Garold. I like the contrast between lights and darks. Your challenge is to get that wonderful contrast while preserving the detail in the shadows and midtones. Layers and masks are a great way to go about these types of adjustments. It is definitely worth getting to know your editing program. It took me awhile to learn the basics in Photoshop, you need to take it one step at a time. I was somewhat of a slow learner and still have a lot to learn. Check out Carsten Ranke's landscapes and his technical info on how he achieves his images. He is advanced, but I have picked up some great technique from his "abouts" with regard to combining exposures and using masks. Here's an example of one of his more "extreme abouts" lol, on one of my favorite images. Don't let this one scare 'ya. Go see bunches of his abouts and you'll find a treasure trove. http://www.usefilm.com/image/851474.html

Thank you for all your help I have not been using my editing program very much ...really just trying to learn how. I have tried a few things but I see what you mean...my colors were blown and drained in some areas...Thank you again. I tried a B&W with my program (MGI Photosuite) My appreciation for taking time to help me.

Garold, I just noticed that a cool new feature at UF is that when you click on the uploads in comments you get a new window which you can then place side-by-side with the original images for comparison. If you look at your revision next the my color version, you will see where you lost the details in the shadows when you darkened the image and how they are preserved by selectively darkening using the burn tool and a soft brush. I also use a Wacom tablet and pen, which really helps with the details.

Further to my previous suggestions, I worked on this a bit in PS to show you my take on it. When you darken the darks, the key is to preserve the detail in the shadows. I used the burn tool, rather than levels in this instance to burn in some of the midtones and darktones. Then I converted to BW using Channel Mixer.
