This is his "romantic lead" pose. :))

Every day I sit outside for a bit and there is this small lizard I see nearly everyday. My gandson and I have named him "Larry, the lounge lizard". I chase and harrass him almost daily, kicking the fence and stuff and making him go different places. It is such a challenge to catch him still for a moment and get decent shots. In this shot he was sitting atop a white fence and the house behind him is white also. There were so many spots on the original, though, it looked as though my sensor needed cleaning. I then just filled in the BG with the fill tool at 22% twice in white. He's fun to chase. Hope you enjoy it.

Sweet one, Shelly!
Great color and definition and GREAT overall job. The mint background is just perfect for this little fellow to stand out.
Love the lazy "Hey dude, whassup?" expression on his face!!!
Have a nice weekend and TFS.
See ya soon,
Fulvio.

hi Shelly,
Larry definitely looks ready for his close-ups, just look at the perfect green make-up :)))) love the note and love the photo, the lizard does seem to be asking for a kiss [who knows, may he's Prince Charming in disguise :))]. the texture of the skin is fantastic, every little scale is well-defined. tough shot, no question about that, but the result is great. my best regards to Larry and hope to see further additions to his portfolio :))

best,
Kristine

Shelly: I would think it's an Anole, a form of new world chameleon - you can double check on google images search and TrekNature... nice sharpness though, for the audition...

An amazing pose, he must have known it was his moment in the spotlight! Really great work on this one, perfect detail and color. TFS and have a sunny day!

I really like the way you did it. The green over the white is superb and draw entirely the attention to the beautiful lizard. Well done.

Hi Shelly, Wonderful photo of this green guy. Splendid composition and amazing sharpness. I like it very much. I am now in the USA visiting national parks. Tomorrow will be a main attraction of my trip - Yellowstone. We saw something today - it is fantastic. Incredible mabvels of nature.

Warm regards

Bonjour, ma bonne amie Shelly,
Je verrais bien cette image dans un livre scolaire pour représenter le lézard, sa posture est excellente et les détails également.
Le vert sur fond blanc ressort avec éclat.
Excellente et amusante réalisation.
Amitiés sincères de France.

Hi Shelly,
The handsome green dude appears to be a bit vain as he makes this striking pose for your camera.
The colors are brilliantly clear with very sharp details to this scaley critter.
He does indeed look like a Larry.
Regards, Tom

Shelly bonjour.
Ce lézard est d'une grande beauté et ta photo le met parfaitement en valeur avec ce fond blanc bien nettoyé. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs et le rendu de la peau.

Hi Shelly
I like that vivid green and detailed lizard. The white backgound make it more visible and catch the attention. Very good work!
Best regards
Denis!

He's gorgeous, Shelly. Conjures up a whole new insight into life in your part of the world - just what TE is for!
The composition is good, filling the frame perfectly, and the colours are beautifully enhanced by the whites.
Thanks, Winifred

Hi Shelly,

I am really impressed by the quality of the image here, I like much this contrast between the colors of the lizard and the immaculate background. The details on the animal are very clear and I like much framing. For this reason my choice stopped on Nikon !!! Very beautiful animalist composition, thank you Shelly.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles
