    Came our nicely, well done! The only feedback I would give is you need to warm the light on the subject. If you were taking this as real image, the lizard would have a warmer tone to it due to the sunset and would be a little bit darker (higher contrast as the image would be underexposed due to the sunset). :) Posted 9 years ago

      Thanks John for your valuable feedback. Appreciate it.
      I understand, it would have been a silhouette in all likelihood. First attempt and spent around 20 minutes in all.
      
      Will try to be better so that it would become hard to differentiate a composite against natural one.
      Or will stick to natural shots :) Posted 9 years ago
