A lizard and a flower · 01:11 PM

Couldn't be more imaginative for a title or the subject matter, but here are the images:

The Aussie frilled-neck lizard:

The Aussie waratah:

Both shots have beautiful detail and texture, Ash, and I like your choices in processing very much.

How large is the lizard?

**Rense** · 11-14-2009, 01:22 PM

The first one is great!

Damn Brit · 11-14-2009, 01:22 PM

I really like the lizard shot Ash, great composition and use of the background. I think it might look really good in B&W as well.

I like the perspective you got on the flower.

**Ash** · 11-14-2009, 01:37 PM

Thanks guys, and B&W it is Gary...

The lizard was about 40cm (just over a foot) long, but they can be bigger than that.

Fit for a 50's 'B' movie.

**Ash** · 11-14-2009, 01:50 PM

Thanks Gary.
Appreciated.

**wtlwdwgn** · 11-14-2009, 02:14 PM

Great looking lizard in both color and B&W nicely captured!

Nicely done Ash. JIM

#1 is a great pose Ash - that lizard has beautiful textures and color!

Regards,

The lizard is excellent! I like the colour because it shows off three things: the lizard, the bokeh, and the camouflage properties of lizard. Great interplay. I wonder if that is what other animals see. For example deer are hard to spot unless they are moving because they blend right in.

Wonderful shots Ash, that lizard one is stunning.

**Ash** · 11-15-2009, 06:51 PM

Thank you to all for your kind comments.
Gladly accepted.
