Ben...you are doing great!
I'm the gal behind you at 50th place
Keep up the great work! Ya gotta be in the challenges to get better. With a friend like Tim - you won't be far off from getting 6's all the time.
That fella, Tim, has helped me along the way...so keep up the good work. |

Thanks to all of you out there in DPC world who voted. I've been playing around with submitting photos to this site since last fall. I've put a few out there that haven't done well. One of my best friends goes by the user name timfythetoo.
I feel good about this shot since I took lots of shots of snakes at the reptile house at the Columbus zoo. My wife was starting to get impatient that I took a shot of every snake in the building. I set the timer so that my hand wouldn't shake as much and tried to press against the glass with my shoulder. Ultimately, I am pretty pleased with it. But I also thank Tim for directing me to GIMP because my trial of PE 6 ended.
As far as editing... I didn't do a whole lot because the pic turned out nice, but adjusted hue and saturation. I increased the shadows and decreased the highlights. Tweaked the contrast. Then, I did a heavy sharpen, probably too much. |

| I like the snake but I'd like to see a plainer background. |

| Closer. If you could have gotten right up and had that circled eye right in the middle of the photo, up too close for comfort, what a difference. Regardless, nice capture. |
