I found this little gecko out in my garden as the sun was going down and managed to get a couple of shots before it hid under some rocks. Comments & critiques welcome!

Nice find, Tonia. What I particularly like about this image is the way it shows the gecko blending into the environment. The upside down perspective is interesting, and your focus is perfect on the gecko.

Nice image. I also like it shows where the gecko is hanging out. I am surprised at the sharpness at 1/8 second. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I should add that this was taken from a tripod also...

Interesting upside down POV of this gecko. I like seeing the natural habitat and how well he blends into it. Good plane of focus control to get the gecko body in nice detail.

A nice subject and a particular perspective on this shot- Maybe you could increase a tad the contrast, but I'm not sure about it- Very well done, Fabio
