Chinese water dragon

Not really sure whether it belongs to Chinese Water Dragon lizard family.

impressive how you made the eye very sharp! and the rest blurred.

yup, the plane of focus doesn't seem to be in parallel with the film plane.
Are you using TS lens???
Or u manipulate them using photoshop???

Btw it is a good macro shot. Sharp on the eye and nice color too.

Thanks. I used sigma105mm at f2.8, manually focused at the lizard's eye. No PS manipulation except for USM.

Nicely captured! What you've snapped should be the Green Crested Lizard.

nice sharp eyeS! how far are you from the lizard?

I think Azone is right it's more of a green crested lizard-> http://www.ecologyasia.com/Vertebrat...ted_lizard.htm

Very impressive shot with nice clean background. Just realized u stay at tampines too. Maybe one day can meet up one to do some macros together in the neighbourhood.

Yah, so it's Green crested lizard.

I forgot that 1.4X was mounted as well, my distance from the lizard was about 6ft. Why i can still dial f2.8 even 1.4X is mounted?
