Experimental "Portrait"

I have been experimenting with 3 of my left-over enlarger lenses from my former darkroom. The are flat-field an can be used in reverse position on an adapter for my extension tubes and bellows.
135mm Omicron in reverse on an old Nikon D700 with extension tube. Off camera bounced speedlight f/8.

Really nice shot of the lizard! Now I know what I can do with the EL Nikor lens that I used to mount on the Bessler enlarger from film days.

Neat! Is the critter alive? A pet?
Yes! Alive, well and very animated! More lively than many of my human portrait clients. More fun to shoot than a grumpy executive who would rather have a root- canal performed than sit for a portrait!

And what a portrait it is! I can see even the inside of the ear. Beautiful 'model' and portrait.

Nice way to”recycle “ a lens. Obviously no need for me to mention the wonderful results

I don't have a portrait that good of myself -- do you do people?
