Master of All I Survey

This is cute. Having him pose on the edge put the background out of focus and makes the lizard stand out nicely. There are a lot of them on the Bahama islands, but I didn't know that they were also in Florida. I lived in Delray in1970, and don't remember seeing them at that time.

You're right, the low angle light is in exactly the right area of the image to make it just fantastic. Great shot, beautiful beast.

That's a fine animal shot. The bright background brings it to the front of the image in a ominous looking sort of way.

Washing your face off in the local mud pond? : )
Cool shot, and the before and after is a big jump. I like the edge of the water in the hands. It looks a lot like mercury.

The high key treatment and smoothing of the healing brush took this shot up a level or two. It's an image that I just had to stop and take in for about a minute as I looked thru all the little details in it. It's a splendid SP.

I like the way you made something out of nothing with the edit on this image. This one meets the spirit of this side challenge perfectly.

This is a superb vacation post card sort of shot. I like the finished image much better for color saturation, however, it seems just a little sharpish in the rocks area to me. Is "sharpish" a word, or did I just make that up? There are a lot of people around the tower.
Wish I could see this place in person.

There is a sun ray, a shadow of a cloud, in the center of the frame at the top. It didn't show up clearly until you did the toning. Try reducing the amount of black empty space at the bottom in the finished shot, right up to near the horizon, and see if it makes a difference in the way this image comes across.
It's cool the way the trees in the far background give a big sense of scale to the shot.
This looks like a Central Florida pasture scene.

Day 4: Heron

Comment:
Fine detail in the feathers in this shot. The clump of iris in the back makes a good backdrop for the lighter bird, and adds a little dash of different color with the yellow.
The herons there look a lot like the ones here except for the dark patch on the shoulder.

You had very good light for this shot, and the whole scene is as good as it can get. The light on the subject, with the BG all dark is just perfect.
They are not seen in the area where I live, at least, I don't remember ever seeing them here. They look a lot like a smaller version of a blue jay without the crown feathers.
