Well just for fun I tried to make it look as if the lizard was floating/swimming in water. After getting rid of the background I tried to get rid of the flash-induced shadow by cloning around the edges, then I painted a layer of low opacity aqua blue over the 'submerged parts', made a shadow, made a ripple effect...and that's most of it. Looking at it now, I think I probably should also have brightened up the chin etc to make it look reflections from the water bouncing up.
