Very nicely made. Good detail and pose. One can see the camo of the Gecko and how well it blends with the bark surface.

Striking capture of the gecko on the tree, Eirini. I love the colors and patterns of the tree picked up by the gecko. Very cool!

I have to echo Scott's sentiments, it's a striking image Eirini.
The palo verde tree was made for this Banded Gecko, a match made in photographers heaven
No suggestions, very nice!

Very neat image, Eirini. Excellent demo of the gecko's camouflage. The vertical comp goes perfectly with the curved pose. Looks like he got a new tail.

Very cool picture, Eirini! The mixture of textures and design is quite fascinating to look at. Love the pose of the guy with the backwards look and curved body. Well done!

Awesome!! I love this! Such a great job on the POV and overall comp. You nailed it!
As a most minor suggestion, I may burn down the right corners ever so slightly to bring the eye to the head even more.
Excellent image!
