Collared Lizard
I think I have the species correct. Just thought I'd try a subject that stays still for a second. Taken eyeball to eyeball prone but handheld. Even though I've now invested in a tripod.

Harsh light Canon 1D3 sigma 50mm-500mm ISO 200 266mm f/13 1/640 sec

RAW to lightroom then PS3 to resize for post. My PP adjustments are still not cutting the mustard I think I'm trying to get results to quickly and leaving snails tracks.

I have invested in a spyder pro 3 so my laptop seems to have a new vibrance.

Critique and advice most welcome.

Thanks

Barry :wink:

Do you have any without that green 'spike'? That bit I'm not liking. Also some dust spots top right quadrant.

Hi Barry,

I used to keep a pair of these as pets, they are very active, so you've done will to get a shot of it in one place! I agree with previous comments about the the oof vegetation.

Cheers,
