Challenge: Fauna III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for Nikon
Location: Melbourne, Australia

Galleries: Nature, Animals

 The Image: Took this at the Zoo of course. I like the detail and the texture. I was limited to the lighting the zoo provides.

The Edit: B and W, tint, levels, contrast, USm, Smart Sharpen. Of course I wish I had Advanced for this one...The image has a little grain, but I don't mind it

The Prediction: I reckon around 6.2???

Pst: WOW, top 10! That's awesome, thanks everyone. The original has a horrible colour caste that I couldn't get rid of, so I opted for duotone which I am happy with. Thanks again everyone. Mojo is back...

Love the detail in this, Enzo. The eye is also wonderful. I think duotone was definitely the right decision. Congrats.

Just bumped you for a 10 :-) The details on this magnificent lizard are absolutely exceptional. I possibly would have preferred a colour version but I'll ignore that as it's such a well handled b&w shot with lovely rich tones.

Fingers crossed this'll be on the front page in the morning but the competition will be stiff so who knows?

Nice light. We just got a couple of baby iguanas at the animal shelter; I hope whoever adopts them will still ike them when they're this big!

A sure fire winner- the overall detail, the excellant use of tone and shadow and the terrific expression is perfect. Well done.
