A couple new pics

I am messing with backgrounds (need something shinier) and settings on the camera as well as cropping. What do you think?

Looks pretty good, but your cropping needs work. You trimmed the snake on each pic. :rolleyes: The colors look great and they're pretty clear, but you might want to add another light source to highlight some of the darker areas around the snakes.

BTW, great belly shot!

Thanks for the input man..I am going to work on it and see what I can come up with.

Ditto. Boreders are really 'big baller'.;)

As mentioned, the cropping needs work, but they're nice and clear, and the color looks great! I imagine it's an accurate representation of what they really look like...I'd work on cropping and maybe additional lighting before worrying about borders. Borders are just a crutch for crappy pics ;)

They had produce at MARS? Any nectarines?

Nice and clear pics, i would as you said rework the crop and add a bit more lighting. Nice lookin little guy.

Personally, I don't care for borders unless the background of the picture is white, but that's me.

jamie, try light backgrounds like light blue, light beige or any light color. that will make your photos pop. i have been doing red lately, the only reason for that is I spent my last bucks on that damn red martha stewart sheet. Some day when I get some bucks again, I will buy some light colored sheets. good luck :P
