Lizard King Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Upon returning from a hike in the jungle, I went to wash my hands. Next to the soap dish was this little lizard. He sat paralized while I washed my hands and unpacked my camera to take this picture.

I'm going to offer my advice and hope it is taken kindly.
You have a lot of interesting subjects on your photo gallery, but your macros need work.
Your camera should have a macro mode, it looks like a little flower. Turn it on before taking close up photos, it will make for better focus and clarity. Also, put the centre of the frame around your image, then press the shutter halfway down, move the camera into the composition you like, then press the shutter the rest of the way to take the photo. This will make your photos go from being pictures, the becoming photographs.
I really like the fact that you find neat things to take pictures of, keep it up.
I hope you take this "critique" constructively, I'm just being kind and trying to be helpful.
