Some more C&C, pretty please. :)

Looking through a few old shots... tell me what you think.

#1
Cat-faced spider (of the orbweaver family)

#2
Butterfly (unsure on species. If anyone knows, I'd owe you big time!)

#3
Young Brazilian rainbow boa I shot at the Sacramento reptile expo.

Thanks much! Hope you all have a great weekend!

i love the butterfly shot ....i think you can safely crop the sides

as for the spider...i think the background is in almost exact color as the spider ....but i don't think there is anything you could have done....

i don't particularly like the boa one....

nice work....good luck

Thanks!

I did find out the butterfly is a white peacock butterfly, Anartia jatrophae.

What kind of snake is that? I want to say columbian red tail but i know thats not right....the one in your signature looks to be one

It is a Brazilian rainbow boa.

First one is bad. A little OOF and over exposed but for the most part there was not a lot you could do. Second one is good but beware of centering and remember your rule of thirds. The last one could have been so much better but you need to take advantage of 2 things with this snake: it's color (try and get it in the sun and show that shine) and it's shape. Both of its best features are not prominent here.

If you go through this thread, there is an awesome discussion on reptile photography.

the snake in his signature is a borneo short tail python, also referred to as a blood python
