•  Support DOF is a bit shallow, but the important parts are sharp. Nice close-up. Lycaon 16:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

•  Question JuliusR, what type of lens did you use? --Digon3 ^talk 17:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I used the Canon "EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro" Lens --JuliusR 17:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I'm sorry to go against the flood, but I think that the composition and DOF solutions are not the best. This way, the subject of the picture (the head of the snake) doesn't come out sharply against the background. A neutral background would be much better - Alvesgaspar 18:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  •  Neutral - That was too harsh for such a good picture :) - Alvesgaspar 16:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

•  Support Maybe a neutral background, like Alvesgaspar mentioned, would emphasize the head of the snake more, but this way it gives you a impression what the snake is doing at the moment. About DOF i agree with Lycaon. --Simonizer 09:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
