resting in the sun

A water dragon on the rocks at the Botanical Gardens, and I edited the image to replace a busy & distracting background using several different background layers.

Great water dragon portrait... love this background.

Beautiful processing, lovely shot :)

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent as always, great processing

[Vera]

That is weird - for me, this background doesn't go as well with the subject as the bird shots. Especially with the title "resting in the sun", and the background being so musty and foggy. But it's a beautiful lizard!

Looks like a museum speciment, your processing, as always, is amazing.

[Steve Angell]

I like it!
I think the textures are nice!

[Nancy]

Cool!

[Debbie]

Really good edit. I like how you've made the background really misty and the lizard just pops with that light on hm

[Muriel]

[Ann H. LeFevre]
