whoa nellie!!

This monster lizard is seemingly so majestic in the lens of the Grace's camera.

I love the low key effect and those perfectly clear scales are just perfect!

wonderful job!!

Hi Envison this is certainly a grand photo shot of the Komodo dragon. Where did you sight him? The clarity shows up the leathery texture of his skin and the markings he wears proudly . Looks like he was posing for you and I can almost imagine he is trying to smile... Fabulous view and well presented on the darker , yet earthy toned background. thanks for sharing. cheers mel

What a great profile shot of this Komodo. The turned head and lighting gives this guy a very dramatic look (not that they aren't dramatic anyway). Nice job of cropping. Well done Grace ~ Steve

Got nothing like this reptile here in the UK! Your full and central composition grants us a wonderful look at your lizard. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

This lizard seems to be challenging you in quite a grand way! LOL Sassy... and daring you to step out of line! Great camera techs offering up fantastic natural lighting and perfectly natural color. Great focus as well. It is that look however that puts a great smile on my face! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I liked the way he turned his head to look at me too, but I am sure if he had the opportunity he would have made a meal out of me, lol!
