I was lucky to have such a unique piece of jewelry lying around. The rest of the photo kind of fell into place - some rocks, a spray bottle, and a bit of greenery.

Love the setting, think it might have worked a little better with lighter colored rocks.

I like the set-up but am slightly turned off by the flash. Parts of the lizard look at bit over exposed, but all in all, I think this is a good entry.

Excellent - of all the reptile and amphibian jewelry, I like this the best! :) The water adds a distinct touch. And the gold is shining! :)

very nice peice of jewlery, however, since its the main subject, i dont think you should have cut the tail out of the picture.

I love how the piece is captured in it's "natural envirnment"!

Fun sparkles on the lizard/salamander/newt whatever it is. This idea is fun to put this creature in its "natural" environment.

Very clever use of props for your background. Couple of starbursts...nice focus. Lighting may be a bright intense, but not extreme. Overall, good job.

Lovely Lizard! Up, or On the Rocks. Beautiful composition. Nicely lit. The water and laurel leaves are inspired touches. So's the decision to crop the tail. I think it's a little subtle compared to a few in this competition, but it is really lovely.

Good sparkles

This awesome, I love the lizard on rock with water and leaf. Catches the 5 elements.

All black or white rocks would have improved this, I think. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nicely put together shot here.
Perhaps a slightly tighter crop off the top (top 1/4 of shot) may have worked a little better.
Good submission regardless.

This lizard looks great poised on the wet rocks..very creative and attractive idea..I like it and I like the sparkle of the gold..8

Beautiful sparkle in the stones, the natural setting is a nice touch.

Nice image. Great idea with the display.

Composition: excellent
Lighting: too harsh
Color: color is nice on rocks and leaf washed out on metal and stones
Clarity: excellent
Lettering: you left room for any advertising that needs to be added to picture

I would have liked to see the tail as well, but this picture is one of the better in this competition.

wish I could give you a 10+, nice composition and presentation. 10

Clear image. Not to my taste. Cannot work out what is going on in the bottom LHS - is that a tray with a pebble design? maybe too much water on pebbles: maybe a few well placed dops would have worked better?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 12:58:56 AM
Nice piece, would have prefered to see the complete tail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/24/2005 09:25:37 PM
very nice tones but the rocks seem to overpower the jewelry
I still like it and it is original
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/24/2005 08:59:51 PM
would have preferred a larger crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/24/2005 08:57:12 PM
Did you use a star filter for this one? I like the green leaf at the bottom, but it could use a bit more saturation in my opinion. The rocks are perfect for the lizard and the addition of the water droplets is great!

04/24/2005 08:38:21 PM
rotation of image would be my choice...but what do i know?..lol so gl with challenge...
