Just shot this nice blue and yellow guy who was chasing frogs in my yard 
Its a really crap photo and the others are worse  but an awesome looking snake anyway. If only i could afford a decent camera.
Its the first time i have seen a blue and yellow one in my area. |

Definately super imposed.
Photoshop.. not a good one either. hmmm.. My opinion. |

That one above just looks like it is being held in one hand and photograped with the other, there would be a shadow that far from the ground but yes focus on the snake not the ground ;-)

Like Cris said, it was chasing frogs in his back yard. maybe it launched itself across the yard and he snapped it mid flight.   |

They often freeze and if they dont im way to clumsy to get a decent photo.
The focus box was on the snakes head but it still focused on the background I would never pick up a snake to take a photo that would be illegal.
I like your pic boa its actually good and shows the beauty of the snake. Do you find them that colour often? This is the only one i have seen that colour in my yard out of all that i have seen. I have actually seen more of the blue and white ones(still only 2).
It is a common(aka green) tree snake (dendrelaphis punctulata) a harmless frog snacking colubrid. |
