Forest Calotes Portrait

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Hello everyone, I've been absent from the forums for quite a while due to a faulty internet connection and lots of academic work.

Male Forest Calotes (Calotes rouxii). This image was made in Karnala yesterday. This is probably the closest I've got to a calotes, and also the most compliant calotes I've met .

Canon 500D, Canon 100mm Macro USM
SS 1/50, hand held
Av 7.1
ISO 800
EC -0.3
No flash
Recovered some blown highlights in the BG.
Cropped slightly to remove a distraction at the bottom right corner.

Thanks, C&C welcome.
