This workshop, right?

It looks like they just had the black backdrops that day - you have a nice snake photo in this challenge that also has a black background. Green background like in their sample photos looks more natural. :(

Thanks for all the complements. I feel I should give credit to a guy named Miles Herbert who provided the lighting which makes the picture what it is. I'm an ignoramus when it comes to lighting.

Not really - you knew exactly whom to go to for the lighting expertise.
Awesome shot from any perspective.
