Very nice! Great contrast and focus, DOF etc. I get just a touch that it was through another layer of glass, just a blur down near the tail, but I'd never have thought to look that hard if it wasn't in your note. Great job!

Hi Greg,
Excellent capture of this dragon in the spotlight. Exposure looks good with the nice saturated colors. Detail is very sharp. He looks great with the dramatic black backround.

Gregory, this is stunning. In my opinion, an artistic touch: great lighting and contrast between the main subject and the bg.

Excellent sharpness and composition.

Congratulations.

Very nice. Like the pose you have captured and the background is suitably bland! I agree the spot near the head should be removed.

Hi Gregory,
Awesome shot! The lighting is superb and the green colour of the lizard contrasts very well with the black background. Good sharp details and pose of the lizard. Very well captured!

Hi Greg!

Quite different for bird's picture, but as good and interesting.
Technic is excellent here. Sharp focus, perfect exposure. Good compostion. And that dramatic light is splendid. The black BG isolate your subject beautifully and I love the shadows created by the vertical lighting.

Great work and TFS.
