Hi There by

We just took a family vacation to Queensland and visited Australia Zoo while we were there (if you get the chance, get along to it. Well worth it). Caught this little chap sitting on a fence railing. He is a Water Dragon and is approximately 6 inches long. It had us in stitches! Every time i took a shot, he would put his hand up.

    What a wonderful little poser or is it the “Regal” wave?
    Either way, it’s a super shot.

    G’day Craig,

    What fantastic interaction you had with this posing li’l rascal.
    Good to see you kept your cool and made a good shot of this wonderful experience.
    Good lighting, good exposure and a sharp focus ensure we get to see most of the detail clearly and crisply and the use of depth of field keeps the viewer’s eyes where the action is.
    The colours are vibrant and natural and the dragon’s pose is something you just could not pay for.
    Very well seen and very well done!
