I think the lack of DOF worked great here, created a neat effect. I really like the 'tack sharp' eye area. Very nice job!

I'm a sucker for nifty shots of herpetelogical specimens! DOF is just perfect to increase the sense of both size and menace! 10

Too close for my comfort but great picture.

I've got one just like this called Dylan. Great shot - crisp and well focused! [8]

Great DOF! We don't know what the beast is that is so close to us, but we can see that its eye is very clearly pointed at us. Nice perspective, creative shot!

Too Cool. I love the composition and crystal clear focus. At first I thought it was a gator but now I believe its an Iguana. Very Nice shot I gave it an 8

Oooh scary. There are some really superb examples of shallow DOF in this challenge - this is another for me. Great reflection highlights in the eye and I like the duller reflective aspect of some of the scales.

This is too tight with too shallow a DOF to be as effective as it really could be IMO. It's not bad, but with very little in the whole frame reasonably focused, I feel there is quite a bit of room for improvement

An example of an extremely shallow dof working well. It really makes the eye stand out and "demand" focus.

I like this.....I only dislike the crop. Too much void area for me..but I won't mark down for that. THIS is just kool.

Beautiful photo. You got the DOF in perfectly so that only the eye is sharp. Choice and definitely a 10!

Nice use of DOF, although I think I'd have liked more of the nose to be in focus, too.

great use of a short depth of field. Nice subject.

Very interesting perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nooo it's a iguana needs more DOF but I guess he wouldn't stay still for too long a 5

I wish a little more than just the eye was in focus. You got the most important part, though.
