My new Bearded Dragon

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi all,

Took this photo the other day using kit lens and on board flash.

It was the shades of yellow around his eye and his ear that i wanted to capture.

Fire away guys, i'm looking forward to your feedback and learning.

It's a nice image though I think that the lizard would look better in more of a natural environment say on a log outside or something.

on a seperate note I used to have a bearded dragon had him since he could fit in the palm of my hand he was called jerry. quite a lizard.
Are we there yet?

I like it :) Seems really sharp and good colour. Not sure about the wierd red log he (or she?) is on :lol: but good angle and framing... Shadow's a smidge strong though, what strength(+/- compensation?) was the flash on?

Hi all thanks for the feedback. The Dragon, (who's name is Wilson) is sitting on my girlfiends red tracksuit pants. The flash setting was standard i believe?
