A very fine shot of this green boa. The detail in the scaly skin is great and that eye is just mesmerizing. Nice lighting and great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a very cool entry for the contest! Your excellent sharpness and the lovely light render great detail. I can see the different types of scales and also get a good look at the eye. Very nicely done!

Oh Top he just wants to give you a big ole hug!. Lol. Cool capture. The angle of the shot of this boa's facial is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Great eye and great job overall.

Wow! This capture is immaculate. The refinement of detail is outstanding. The Boa is perfectly focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. The head is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Steve, this is, how do I say, fantastic. Just amazing. I am a highlights, and shadow person, and this hits the mark in all areas. And the brilliant green is so beautiful, it takes my breath away. I imagine this to be the devil in the garden. Wonderful. I don't have any 6's but this is worthy of one and so much more.
