Predator and Prey
Another early entry for me. I had a few ideas, but I really like the idea of opposites in the natural world. And every living thing has it opposite..the predator!
So this is my Bearded Dragon staring down upon his opposite...his prey!

Re: Predator and Prey
Lol! that poor meal worm has no chance.More like death row this one 
The top right has blown out a bit which draws my eye..probably light from a window or something and the focus seems a litlle soft.
it might have been an idea to stage the natural world with some leaves or something.great idea though

Re: Predator and Prey
It seems to have gone soft when I saved it at 177kb. The full size image is very sharp lol. I was thinking of adding leaves and what not, but Eddie is a fussy Lizard and eats them far too quickly to really stage anything lol.

Did you sharpen it after resizing? Works wonders, check the thumbnail page
Like the idea, would have preffered to have seen them in a more natural environment though.

Re: Predator and Prey
If you look in "it's not valid" section there is one of him in his Viv. But failing that Austrailia is a long way to fly lol!
Besides it's not odd to see a cat on a carpet....lol

Me too. I keep wanting to put Eddie in a small scale diarama of Toyko so he can have a go at being Godzilla!
In fact anyone want to photoshop Eddie stomping through a major city? lol
