Galapagos Iguana

I added a fractalius filter to this in camera blur of an Iguana swimming to shore. 1/8 sec. at f/16.

Nice image and application, Denise.

Could use a little more definition in the eye. But nice.

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Now that is scary :D
I love the water and the line of the tail -eye look good to me.
Best,
Nicki

Very nice, Denise. It looks like some mythological beast! :D The blur and high-key look excellent. I suppose the eye could be given a little more definition, but I like it just fine as is.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I like it Denise. The blur looks great, I am just wondering if there is more tail to get in the picture?

[denise ippolito]

Jackie, Thanks. No more tail:)

[Kerry Perkins]

Very interesting and pretty spooky! :cool: I like the blur and the high key look. I just realized that I can see both eyes. Cool!

And, BTW - WELCOME BACK!!! We missed you!

wow... amazing effect on the approaching Iguana with the hk bg. I love swim motion and the water ripple... very dramatic. Nicely done, Denise.

Thanks folks for the warm welcome back. I missed seeing your images and comments. Thank you for the kind words on my Iguana. Much appreciated.

I almost missed this one. I love it, the swimming, the fracting, and the BKGR. Lightening the face a bit with a Tim Grey dodge and burn is an option. That swirl on the near flank is killer.

Pretty neat blur...well captured...I like the frac effect, atta go
