Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

James,

In my opinion, the 3rd one has potential because you have eye contact and the eyes are sharp. The out of focus bump in front of the head is distracting. Perhaps you could go for a tighter crop.

The second one suffers because the point of interest - the head - is in shade. Other areas of the snake are well exposed but that's not where the focus should be.

The first one does nothing for me.

thanks for the comments andrew, pretty much sums up how i feel about the photos - so i'm on the right track :D .
For some reason i keep comming back to the first one but not sure why. probably just the textures or something.

The second one i should have used a bit of flash and should have thought of it at the time - especially when shooting in full sun.

The third one is already a faily heavy crop and i didn't want to go much further or i would start to lose quality.

Next time i take her out in the sun i will have another go and see if i can get anything better. BTW i am really happy with how the 50mm performed, it is so sharp :)

Cheers
James
