This weeks morph photos!

I have had one or two people ask how I chose photos for the WIR. It is not a popularity contest. I simply chose pictures which I find visually appealing regardless of technical errors etc afterall that’s what photography is all about. I also chose pictures of morphs I particularly like. Every WIR review writer choses their pictures differently. I have given a wee description above each shot to explain exactly why I have chosen each shot, and I will continue to do this!

1st place is Susan with Persius, a perfect example of a pretty pewter. Aren’t his eyes dreamy?

2nd place is jiyoung2k. I adored the subtleness of this shot. Perhaps not a picture of a pretty corn snake, but I like the delicate textures and iridescence. The depth of field and composition is also spot on IMO.

3rd place is Jenn with her pride and joy, Nagini the charcoal. Perfectly composed shot and it’s all natural! We need more outdoor snake photography…

Stan the ghost stripe by Jenni. Beautiful composition to this shot, well done!

An outstanding amel stripe by mactopa. More people should try out the mirror shots! They really show off every angle of a snake.

I REALLY liked this shot by Delightedly. I love how the hand frames the picture perfectly, and I also love the dark shadows and subtle colours.

Another fabulous shot from Susan. She always seems to capture her snakes vivid colours with her fantastic outdoor photography.

I love the way this outstanding ghost bloodred is positioned. Natural backgrounds also take my fancy! Great shots XCIN

I dislike pictures of snakes on fish gravel, however this picture really stood out for me. The contrasting yet coordinating colours matched with this prime example of a candy cane meant I had to chose this shot by snakeparadise.

Ok folks that’s it. Hope it was beneficial in some ways, Have another awesome week on cornsnakes.com!

I am looking for people to help contribute. Ie thread picks and anything else you guys think would work well in the WIR. Please send all suggestions to me via PM.
 
Oh so much <3 for you, I wasn't sure when I posted Nagini's picture if it was going to be around the WIR or not lol.

I really do like how you added little tidbits of info with the pictures this time, gave it more "substance". Nice idea.

Great job Elle :)
 
No bother Jenn. Nagini is afterall one of my favourite online charcoals LOL.

I felt I had to justify my reasoning behind chosing pictures as it was leading some people to confusion. Had I not picked their pictures due to a popularity contest? etc...

You don't pick my pictures because they're lousy. Oh, and I don't usually post them because I KNOW they're lousy... Will try to take better ones on Sat or Sun. Might even post one or two. :)

Great job, Elle!
 
It's not about taking good or bad pictures. Everyone has an entirley different definition of those two things. I just like pictures that are nice to look at. It doesn't matter what kind of camera you have, or how blurred the shot is or how grainy it is... technically I don't care about the image - I just want to look at something pretty.
 
Great WIR Toots!!! These forums are getting so big and I simply don't have the time to read all the threads....

Thanks!!

Great WIR!! Keep up the great work..Can't wait to see one of my pics picked for a WIR...I know it will happen eventually :0)
