| Guenther,
these are all great artworks. Do you have something like a catalogue of your work?
Or do you sell prints of them?

| Thanks!
I never thought about selling it - but of course I could make You prints.
Most of my snake shots can be founde here, at least the better ones. Newer at the end, older at the beginning:

| Thaks Gentlemen. It was an outtake for me. At the second view I thought that maybe another crop would enrich the picture. Besides that just a bit levels correction and saturation was done. |

| You're talking about the black-bordered head scales i think. Almost like a Ophiophagus on first sight - if there were some big scales more.... Great picture, Guenter, thank you! I'm sure we'll have some fun with this specimen on future outdoorshootings.  Cheers Peter

| I should have my new snake room done in the next few months, Guenter. Then I want to order some photo CD's from you! Nice series here, especially the Atheris.  |

| The background on this picture looks like a matrix. Very good work Gunther. Even through the glass.

I'll start with his Crotalus oreganus.

I think that snake is saying, "Smile, gamer, I'm the bane of your early childhood."
And if you don't get that joke, you obviously didn't play enough Oregon Trail as a child. Beautifully done photo, by the way. |

Were you sweating a little when you took this pic? I would be, because that Squam looks like it's drawing a bead on you. |
