I think I found a few good shots today.Thing is I would like to present one of them in the best way.If anyone would like to C&C the 2 I'd appreciate it.Even tell me if they are any good compositions.One I watercolored the other left as is.They are really downsized for here,as originals are 3345 x 2445.very clear too.

DB what a great shot!! and a lovely girl. I do not like the watercolour personally Maybe a tight crop?? or desaturate the greenery so the THINGIEbeast comes out even more?? am very curious how it turns out and what she/they think of it DB!!

My instinct tells me to either crop tighter.. or just a tad less so you don't slice off the top of her head. I took the liberty of cropping it. Also desaturated the foliage in the background to detatch the lizard from it a bit as mabel suggested.

So the nice shadows of the hood, and shape of it ,you dont think added to the artistic side of the image?I thought I cropped it tight enough.However doing saturation does help.I'll try both your ways on the big image and check it out.Thank you so much for input.

Curious what you decided :)

I like the cropped test, puts the focus on the lizard. If the girl is the main subject, then I think the lizard is stealing her limelight! LOL I think the lizard is saying, "Back off pal this is my spot" or "get you own shoulder, this one is taken" Also curious as to what you decide. TMG
