The image is so sharp and detailed! I would love to see one of these in the wild!

Hello Freddie,
Interesting creature, super portrait!
Colours and deatils are amazing, and the tight framing works well to emphasis the subject...
I bet he can use thiks for his passport!

Hi Fred,
I like the contrast as well as the color balance.
The good sharpness valorize the wonderful iguana’s skin texture.
Finally, You made a really convincing collage.

Hi Freddie,
This is brilliant, the original shot of this Iguana is superb. Well done PP work too, one tiny detail, when you rotated the copy of the eye, the shadow rotated too.
Not too hard to correct that, and this would fool even the experts.
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi Fred..:)
Very nice PP work done..
Good shot my friend..
