Default Lizard

With some talk in another thread about this style of editing I thought I would have a play around with this pic of a lil' fella I found today. This is the first time I have attempted this myself and im quite happy with the outcome. In the original he kinda got lost....

lizard


Thoughts?

Nice processing, Dude! You succeeded in isolating the subject

Next time whenever possible do also some macros or shoot at your finest and highest megapixel and do a crop later.

Thanks for the feedback Drax.

I tried getting as close as possible...this guy was only about 3 inches long and was maybe about 5 or 6 feet away. I had already spooked him so it was simply a case of pointing and shooting before he bolted. I wasn't even sure what setting I had the camera on as I took the pic...but it looked alright in the viewfinder

Nice job! I can see how the lizard would have gotten lost otherwise.
