Revisiting this lizard again, but this time in b&w. The higher ISO and high contrast give it a grainier look, which works well with the b&w.

Very sharp! B&W works wonders for that yukky reptile. Almost makes him look appealing.

This macro makes this guy look like a monster, I especially like all the wonderful detail we get to see in his skin... amazing shot!

I like this one better two.

The DoF, the constrast, the light, the texture of the skin... everything tends to make this an excellent shot.

Well done ! (I wouldn't have dared to approach it that much !)
