I got the background by taking a close-up of her back, then enlarging it and blurring it beyond recognition. this trick helps me when I'm stuck with a horrible background but a great foreground

the res is weird on the higher size. You can tell that you cut and pasted the iguana picture onto a blurred background using something like photoshop.

I can see there might have been some editing going on... I notice that the edges of the iguana are pixilated and are apart from the background... or am I going craxy?

What a great shot here and it works well as a background. A good idea for the background, but how did you join the two pics together ?....................John
