I wish I had a zoom on this one as I barely got him in the frame.

Thanks for looking. Rick

I like the pose captured but I do find the upper bg to be a bit distracting.

I am not familiar with this species but I think that it could be a bit oversaturated (digital cameras tends to easily oversaturate the red channel). The background is some distracting and needs some noise reduction, I like the eye and wish for more room at the bottom (the tail tip is clipped) and the right. Pretty nice species by the way:)

Good comments from above. I like the regal pose you captured in this image but would like to see a bit more canvas all around but especially on the bottom. Good eye contact and excellent detail. Many thanks for sharing Rick.

Agree with comments !!!! As suggested by Juan these require a reduction in the red channel Most cameras do over saturate the image on their own !!! Excellent !!!

Thanks all, I tried my skills at photoshop to improve the above faults. Is this better.
Thanks, Rick
