Exquisite detail - the shadows and the crystal clear focus are splendid. :)

Compositionally, this is a very well done shot. I like how the leaves form diagonals going across and through the frame. I also like how the lizard forms a contrasting diagonal in the upper left corner. This is a strong picture -- very balanced and dynamic feeling.

Technically, this shot works very well. The focus on the lizard lets the nice textures show, and the greens throughout the shot are nice as well. The shadows in the bottom right keep it from being too monochromatic.

Overall, this is an awesome shot. I could see it, easily, in the top ten or twenty of a challenge relating to lizards or reptiles or the color green, etc. However, I am stretching my brain as much as possible, and I am just not getting the "upside down" part of this. Judging from the other comments, I am not the only one. If I am just missing it, feel free to contact me and I'll take another look.

Very nicely done and best to you in future challenges.

It's sad the shot is not upside down... excellent photo but doesn't really meet the challenge

Nice capture, but I keep looking for something that is upside down one way or the other.
 08/12/2007 10:45:39 AM
This is nice, no question about it. But, I don't see how it follows the theme? Also, why the nearly square crop?

Nice detail on the lizard.

I'm missing the upside down component here, but this is an otherwise fantastic capture...

The photo alone is a 10. For the challenge? I'm not sure I'm getting the 'Upside Down' part.

Technically the most beautiful shot, but I can't see how it meets the challenge.

Nice picture, but not upside down?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/07/2007 11:47:47 PM
hmmm... i guess this lizard usually moves with its head down (like a fly?) otherwise I see no connection to the topic, and this is a DNMC. I give you 3. Just for trying.
