[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello
Today, playing with reptiles :)
The animal you can see in the picture is one of two gekkos that live in Mediterranean part of France (one is Tarentula mauritanica, the second - Hemidactylus turcicus). I think that it is the first one but I'm not sure.
Gekkos are amaizing animals that can walk on vertical surfaces (e.x. walls) even as smooth as windows. That was this situation. I was inside the building and gekko was walking on the window (that's why you can see its "ventral" surface).
I know that the picture is not very well, but I hope someone will find some time and will propose some workshop. I was trying to improve the photo a little. First I've cropped it (there was part of window frame from one side). Then I have change the contrast and at the end I used an unsharp mask (it was long shutter speed and I didn't use tripod so the picture was not too sharp): 75%, 3,7 pixels.
I'm waiting for your critiques and suggestions

Hola Ania,
Es sorprendente como se pega al cristal, aunque la toma es mejorable, sin embargo es un documento interesante. Saludos

The photo is underexposed. I tried to improve the photo in my workshop.
