Wow Nancy! I saw this in the contest (and voted for it!). This is just a magnificent closeup, and the focus is perfect. Excellent use of your mixed media skills too!

Hi Dave, I want to send you a Million Blessings for both of your amazing honors! I was tied with Steve (iPhone) for First place (which is an honor in itself) but your vote made me the sole winner of the Contest. This was my first Mixed Media of the Month win!!! It was also my first Seven star review!!!
Half of the reviews for this were six stars!!! To add another six star from you is truly an honor!!! Thank you SO MUCH! Smiles and Hugs :o) Nancy

This is probably the nicest image I have seen of a snake! Your effects have turned this beast into a beauty :) I really enjoy the colors and textures, in addition to the excellent clarity of the shot.

Wow! A stunning close up of the Female Black water Snake. I like how you filled your frame with this creature. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your details are incredible. Superb eye clarity. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

I like what you done with this photo. It's beautiful. The texture of snake skin bring out the photo in great detail. I wonder if use a telephoto lens in taking this picture of the snake I would not be that close to the snake. Anyway congratulations.

Very nice close up shot of this snake. Although I don't really care for them but I do like the color and texture on this one. This one is huge. Your photo is very clear and focus is sharp.

Very nice capture and treatment of the subject. Great detail that shows the patterns in the skin and coloration/camouflage. The eye is wonderful. Your overlay works very well. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent close up to the snake, but, is she poison?
Excellent filling of the frame, focus, details and light handling
thanks for sharing

Hi Galia, Not to worry this snake is not poisonous. I wouldn't dare approach her if she was! Thanks for being concerned and for the Great Review! :o) Nancy
Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
WOW you must have emitted a loving energy as these snakes can perfectly perceive what mood a human is in and take measure immediately - if she keeps sunning you are accepted and she knows there is no danger - awesome close up - a super clear and sharp macro - a winner shot for my criteria as her textures really are standing out and the angle to the sun is perfect as it lets her shine in silver
fantastic framing , super technical applications , well seen, and well done
