Different than most of the types of stuff I shoot, this is from a couple years ago in the Fiji Islands. This iguana is found only there and is endangered.
Lily, much appreciated comments and actions. Much more in depth than many people on here, I'm glad you have an understanding of the processes and composition. Thanks again, Curtis
Hi Curtis, From the thumbnail I thought I was clicking on leaves. :) Good looking green guy, great capture, and composition. Your subject is at home with the camera, nice turn of the head. :) Sharp capture of the eyes. For a variation, I tried cloning out the prickly plant to open it up on that side. Also minor changes to contrast to brighten the background but darken his belly. Some burning to the legs to emphasize the lizard skin texture. I also sharpened to make up for the jpeg compression loss. Best wishes, Lily.
