I like this rendition. The "shades of black" to me are what makes it. If you know what I mean. LOL

Nice shot
Colours like OK.
Hope you were wearing high topped boots. Don't want the black snakes biting you on the ankles!!!!

That's a good description of what makes a dark neb image special, JJJ.
Great image, Ross!
Cheers,

Hi Ross,
That's a lovely image of the Snake Nebula.
Gary Kopff from Wildcard Innovations got an excellent image of a "black snake" on a trip to Coonabarabran about 18 months ago. Gary got a first hand image of a little black snake in his room at the Warrumbungles Mountain Motel early one morning, at about 8am; from a couple of feet away
It was only about a foot long and Gary being the nature lover that he is cajoled it out of his room and into some nearby bushes
The only thing I found unnerving about the whole thing was that his and Mai's room was in very close proximity to mine and Andrew Murrell's
Cheers,
John B

Hi Marc,
Glad you like it. I was a bit unsure about the balance of colours.
Thanks for the comments.
Ross.

Hi Jeanette,
Yes, it is the "blacks" that make the photo. I have seen some shots by other people with a deep, velvety black that really stand out.
I tried many versions with this shot, but I just don't have the Photoshop skills yet, so I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks.
Ross.

Thank you Carl.
I do have a fear of snakes so summer time in Coonabarabran is always a "cautious" time for me.

Thanks Rick.
Yes, nailing the "blacks" is the way to a great photo. I tried many versions and I still have a long way to go.

Hi John,
Glad you like my photo, but I'm not too happy with the snake story.
I have a fear of snakes so I will now be checking under the beds and in every corner of the room next time I stay at Coonabarabran!
Thanks a lot
Ross.
