    One of my nemesis species so was glad to get this shot though it was backlit and on a windy day for shooting macro.

    great shot mate. Justone thing that haunts all us drogon snappers- the perch . It looks like the head has a wierd thing growing from it. I don.t like cloning but I would take it out. GReat shot though. Another round of sharpening might help too,. When its a nem species - what the heck anyway !!

    Very nice shot, is the image pin sharp at 100%? If it is I would definitely add a little more sharpening, if the head and tail sharpen nicely I suspect there would be clearer delineation between the head and perch.

    Great flat pose but does not look really sharp, especially the head. I love the BKGR color but I could do without the other stuff :). I like the later post a lot better.
