Lizards - Made smaller and easier to view
Sorry if my images were too big to view
 I have not posted many and thought that as I had only linked then the size was not a problem
I am reposting a few for critique:

G'day,
OK, at least I tried...  These are just ideas from a viewer trying to help  The next person will see it differently and that's the beauty of it...
#1 "Lizard 2 small" I would try to remove the brown blurred area along the bottom by either cropping or clong etc, not sure where the tail ends. Also not sure on the colour... #2 "Lizard 4 small" I like this one a lot. The only thing that comes to mind is to crop out the bottom of the stone/log thing he's on so you don't see the dark below it maybe? #3 "Lizard in small log" First thing I notice is the light log(?) protruding into the b/r corner, maybe either clone it or or just burn it so it melts into the background. I also maybe crop out where the bark ends on the left so you don't see the end of it. You could also try selecting the subject (the lizard) in PP in a lot of sole animal shots like this, then blurring the inverse or a copy on another layer etc to blur the background a bit so the subject looks sharper and gets more attention. #4 "Red leaves small" Really like this, just clone out the scabby bit in the t/r corner, nice colourings, like the black "lines" in the background, looks great. #5 This is really cool. Just needs a touch more sharpness in the eyes and to save his poor widdle tail from being chopped off... Phew, now I need a drink after all that! Sorry for the long post, I am... Cheers. Aka Andrew
Hi Terry. I like them I agree with Mudder on the first one, remove the distracting area at the bottom. But I think the colours fine
I would crop the 2nd one to remove the out of focus branch and concentrate more on the dragon. In the 3rd one, I agree about the whitish piece of wood in the right hand corner. In the red leaves shot, I weould have moved slightly so that the main focus (the leaves) wasnt across the black strip in the background. I really like the chameleon. I would have been rapt to have taken that
Regards Meicw
Thanks guys, your advice is really appreciated.
