Challenge: Best Friends (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: My Room
Date: Mar 11, 2005
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Animals, Macro
Date Uploaded: Mar 12, 2005

 I found this little lizard guy crawling around outside of my residence and caught him in the hopes of taking a couple shots with him.
On my laptop, I had a closeup shot of a crocodile from a recent trip to the Sydney Aquarium. I opened that image up, and put the little guy on the monitor, next to the eye of the croc. After some patience and repositioning I was able to get this shot.
I just figured that this would be a unique shot in a challenge which will probably contain mostly people with other people, or people with animals. Don't expect it to win, but I do hope some people like it as much as I do.

Looks amazing, but not sure how this fits into the "Best Friends" theme...

very interesting shot, but just so difficult for me to get behind. I can't really tell what is real and what isn't.

Good idea, but the 2 just don't seem to mesh very well... Perhaps due to editing technique?

Haha, this is a really interesting shot. It takes a second to see what's going on, but that's what makes it interesting for me.
