Friendly lizard

This is a mix light situation, which I tried to fix with PP. Its dark and its hot:(. But... I like the lizard:).

Hi Alberto,
I like this little guy. His name is Freddy the lizard. I did some work on your image to enhance it and make it more powerfull. The perch was a bit over powering so I cropped from the right and the bottom of the frame. I cloned out the green bloch on the left, it was too distracting, my eyes were going to the green. I lightened Freddy just a tad and sprinkled a little bit of sharpening. Tell me if you like it...:D:cool:

P.S. You can also use the clone stamp in Photoshop to clone in darker texture from the dark sections of the log on top to eliminate the white shine...:cool:

[Alberto Oria]

It looks great, the upper right area of the log was totally blown, it has two layers in multiply plus a lot of cloning the left background was also diffused but I was afraid of making it look unreal. But you did it well

[Alberto Oria]

Gus how about the two thirds? when the image was cropped the lizard eye was placed in the in one of the spots. Now is bulls eye. Rules have exceptions, in your opinion, is this one? Again thank you for your CC and guidance:)

Like the repost better - the perch was to overpwoering for me in the original - good work

:)

Alberto, rules are made to be broken; yes, I know that there are ruloes and guide line that we adhere to. But remember that photography is an art form and is very subjective. "BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" that being said, going back to the rule of 1/3; you can add canvas to the left of the frame and can even crop more tight on the right, slicing the perch a bit more, and you fall within the rule of thirds...:D

[Alberto Oria]

Is this to much? again the perch to imposing? too aggressive the crop (almost 100%) ?
