I am the Lizard King!

[atomicjade]

Heh.. I figured I'd make a reference to Jim Morrison with this shot (respectively so). Lately I've been renovating all the critter cages (my other hobby!) and also taking the opportunity to take more pictures. I have never really taken many pictures of my bearded dragon Mortie until today (I've had him for a year, and he was 4 months old when I bought him) so I really do like this shot mostly because it represents him best. The colors are honestly dead on to what he looks like in real life, and he's also doing his favorite thing, lounging on his branch. However I wish the background was a universal color, and I'm not sure if I like ro dislike his missing toes. Opinions? Also is there anything I can do IMO to improve it if you feel something does need to be improved? Thanks!

Also this picture was taken through the tank glass.

very nice. your thoughts of toe and background are valid, but no biggie, and that lizard looks good. Actually the smudges on the glass at the top right are a little off putting, but easily fixable I suppose. Try some backlight? or some key light from low and right on that beard?
Thats a nice looking lizard. :thumb
