Lovely shot DD, I do prefer the cropped version though. Good luck with the comp.

If you've got Photoshop then it does as good a job as Genuine Fractals.

Cracking shot of the Lizard and love the colours.

Must just add, you've been on here almost a year and have really improved in your general photograph skills. I think you should be really proud of yourself.

Thanks so much Oldboy, I am proud, Im getting there. What's holding me back now is money. I work off a tiny netbook, so need a PC. I need a better camera, my Canon 1000D is discontinued and bottom of the range. I need a really great wildlife lens too and a decent editing programme. Then watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else think it looks like a glove puppet? lol

Cropping doesn't make you lose any sharpness, as technically the bit left over is the same as it was before the crop. If you crop and re-size it bigger (effectively zooming-in), then you'll lose some quality / sharpness.

Thanks Matt, someone misinformed me then or I misunderstood.
