Description
Shot at the Amersfoort zoo; one of the first shots with my new 105mm macro-lens, almost no editing (I only added the border).The creature is "Pogona Vitticeps", or "Central Bearded Dragon" . Normally, it's beige-yellow-colored, but I was fiddling with whitebalance settings and thought this was kinda cool as well
Shot through glass as well, so I'm very happy with the result

You are right about a small part (actually the tip of its face) not being entirely sharp; it fell *slightly* out of the DOF, unfortunately, but I only saw that when I got back home
Lesson learned: check the result and use the zoom button on the camera when you're still at the zoo
Thanks for the critique!

De rien, j'aime beaucoup cette image qui accroche vraiment le regard ! La faible profondeur de champ permet aussi de donner un rendu particulier que j'apprΓ©cie beaucoup. Et merci pour la haute def, qui permet de voir tous les dΓ©tails ^^

Well, I must honestly say that english is far, far easier for me then french, but it's nice to change every now and then

Amazingly focused! Even though most of the background is green, it really pops out from the image, because of the sharpness of the ...um, scales(?). I never knew their eyes look like that, so great job for having zoomed in so close!
