Alien Shadows by annied

Alien Shadows

found this little darling in the garden while I was watering - brought him inside to try and take some photos but he would not keep still - kept jumping onto the camera or hiding behind the laptop - loved his shadow in this shot!
Superb shadow - I see you got him eventually! Fav

@dibzgreasley I love these guys - they have such interesting faces and the way they move lol

So no one ever taught him how to poise. How strange. Great shot.

@gigiflower thank you Miss Sam - he was quite elusive - next to go up is a much larger snake than the ones we previously owned hahahaha

@gigiflower at this particular point in time as I sit on the lounge typing on my laptop I have two smallish snakes ( one of them our Buzz ) to the left of me - a slightly bigger one to the right ( our Hank ) and 2 much larger new ones in front of me - hahahahahaha

@annied Mmm, are they in a box? A glass cage? Or are they moving around freely? (as I start to tremble and have nightmares.......)
October 12th, 2014  
@gigiflower they are in various enclosures - boxes - crates hahaha - although I was holding the biggest one a little while ago - so strong and he was hissing a little hahaha

@annied Is it a PYTHON?
October 12th, 2014  
@gigiflower it is - a diamond python - very pretty fellow

@annied I'm positive that pythons strangle humans!
October 12th, 2014  
Only the really really really big ones - these guys are quite strong though - was restricting circulation to my hand lol

The mantis always seems alien to me. They are most fascinating and indeed not crazy about being photographed!

Great title. He looks cute but certainly alien.
October 12th, 2014  
@annied that sounds scary.....
October 12th, 2014  
Fabulous shadow he's casting!

I've never seen one done in B&W before - it really accentuates its 'alien-ness' and that shadow is just the cherry on the top.
October 12th, 2014  
The b&w almost creates an alien "threat" in the image. - very cool.
October 12th, 2014  
fav! the lighting is fantabulous here... love how you've got it with it right on his head :)
October 12th, 2014

Aren't they gorgeous. We had one who moved in when we lived in Cyprus and he used to sit by the television and watch the programmes. Don't know if he could understand Greek or not though.
October 13th, 2014
