This is a very interesting photo with the sharp lily and curving lines in the water. The droplets of course make the lily even more appealing.

I wonder if perhaps a little upping of blacks in the neutral channel on selective color in PS would add some extra structure to this photo? I don't think the gray water surface does much to enhance the subject here, especially because it is so patterned.

Ron, I'm so sorry this got disqualified. I honestly can't even tell the difference between the one where you evidently cloned a couple of spots and the one where it would have been legal. They must have been the two tiny areas in the black?

Anyway, I think this is a fantastic capture. You've got great composition with the head right up there on the third, a nice diagonal line running through the photo, and it is very sharp, especially considering that I'm sure the lizard was moving. No wonder you have a 6.9+ going on this!

This is really well composed and has great lighting. You would have scored very, very well if there hadn't been so many other chopstick entries :-) (I almost entered one with chopsticks as well, thinking I might be unique, so don't feel bad!)
