it is a tad , i dont like to use a flash to close to Mildred as he can get a tad grumpy and has been known to strike at the flash :) bless him
i tried to lighten it a bit but not very well .... still practice makes perfect so they tell me :)

Hi Janine

I did a quick edit to remove the colour cast and brighten it up a bit

you beauty, thanks :) what software did you use to do that and is it easy ? , and once again thanks :)
 
Hi Janine

I used Photoshop.

To remove the colour cast
I made a new transparent layer.
then with the eye dropper, I choose a what I thought should be a white on the right side as we look at it, of the jaw of your snake,
then filled the new layer with that colour,
next inverted the layer,
I then changed the layer mode to soft light.
Flattened the image
With the colour cast removed I then added a levels layer

By the way what kind of snake is it?

Daves edit was about as good as you can get from that image but just ran his edit through Noiseware Professional:

I'm not surprised he's grumpy, if it's a "HE" and has a name of Mildred

if your looking no not ''P'' him off you might be best using a desklamp overhead, some constant lighting will be much kinder than a harsh flash, i use the same process when trying to photograph my fishtanks....

hubby has several torches so i may end up nicking them from him to experiment with :)
 
Just another quick edit that might be less complicated than Dave's, hope you dont mind Dave im not trying to trample on you technique etc just offering another way.

Basically just in Photoshop Image, Adjust, Shadow and Highlight, and slide the shadow bar up a bit until your happy. also used noiseware.
