snakes

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I cringe every time I look at that second one Arthur! I think it's behind glass, but that doesn't stop the feeling.
For an absolute snake novice like me, do you know what these are?

I took these at Ballart Zoo. Both shot thru glass. I can't remember the ID of the first one. The second is a python.

Yes, the snake's meat are delicious with our Asian traditional cook, 7 courses dinner, a big cobra which we often bought whenever we landed in Soc Trang (Mekong area) after a long day doing the air support in the AO.
Coupa litres of pure rice wine, still warm from the distiller, yes, we got someone doing the works for us and we enjoyed. Got drunk after, and the next morning walked to the gunship with a Co-pilot who supported one side for me to walk straight, the Co-pilot did the preflight check with the crewchief and we airborned, coming back in the afternoon, we knew we still alive and again we had the same joys throughout our TDY. That was the life of the Gunship crews during the war.

Snake wine, you have to know how and what is the quality, some of the wine is not the first lot, they may be is the third or fourth refill after the first one gone.
Cheese! better then any type of medicine in the western way, I still love to drink it!
