Tropical World, I didn't make a note of what exactly this lizard is I'm afraid. Again seen behind Glass
This was approximately 3 - 4 Feet Long if my memory serves me correctly. ID PLEASE
Balkan Green Lizard Lacerta trilineata near Platanias, Crete, Greece. This is the largest lizard in Europe, with a body length up to 20 cm. If the tail is included it can be 60 cm. long.

On the windowsill, just inches away from Frodo, separated only by a window screen were two Anoles mating. Out in broad daylight!
Frodo was beside himself. In the past, an Anole would scurry across the windowsill, right in front of him, but to have this pair lingering for ages was sensory overload for him!
Iguana enlarged using AI Gigapixel 2
I take a wide range of images around the place, and often I have a desire to enlarge them to try and bring out some of the detail as my camera may not have as many megapixels or occasionally I need to crop into the image fairly tight. Whilst many programs can handle enlarging images (Photoshop, Affinity Photo etc) I find that they do so whilst introducing artifacts which can impact the overall aesthetics of the image. When I saw a program called AI Gigapixel from Topaz (Affiliate Link: topazlabs.com/ai-gigapixel/ref/239/?campaign=Gigapixel) I was fairly excited at the possibilities. The program uses AI and machine learning to understand images better and allow them to be enlarged whilst attempting to maintain details within the image and sometimes even filling in the blanks. To test this I used an image of an Iguana I had taken from Melbourne Zoo (around 4.3K x 2.9K pixels) and enlarged it using AI Gigapixel to more like 7.3K x 4.6K and cropped tighter around the face (shown below). I am fairly impressed with the detail it has retained in the enlargement without introducing too many artifacts.
I will hopefully post more examples later on (e.g. Butterflies and Macro)
