    Whilst in Australia visiting family this Christmas we had a couple of nights in the Crown Towers Hotel in Perth. I have always wanted to take shots of Perth from different locations and this was my starting point. The tall buildings are in the city itself. It?s a beautiful place which I love coming too! The sun was a little too far round for a great sunset shot but it is one to be planned for!

    Title or Location: Cotswold Wildlife Park
    I loved the detail on this lizard. However, the background was very similar to the lizard body colour. In Lightroom I picked a background preset which toned it down somewhat, but not enough. So created a mask and turned down the background even further. A little ?pop? on the lizard skin and I was finished. I hope you like it.
