I found this little guy hanging out in the backyard a few days ago. Shot using the 1DIV, ISO 200, f/8.0, SS 1/200, 100mm. Used flash for fill. HH. C&C greatly appreciated.
Really an eye catching shot, the DOF is just a tad on the shallow side, whilst the detail is very good along the jaw and forelimb, it becomes a little soft around the eye. The pose perch and background really set the little fella off very nicely.
The flash looks perfectly natural, and the result is excellent. The colors, the pose, and the sharpness are all commendable. And I am pleased that I was not the focus of that critters attention!
Hi Don. Looks like a Green Anole. I like the alert pose and the diagonal comp. Also, nice use of flash and good sharpness within your DOF - I agree that you might try a little more selective sharpening around the eye. This is very nicely done and a tweak around the eye will make it even better!
