Very striking image.

There's almost a 'Melethial' feel to this in the capture and documenting of the 'everyday'. Taking the time to look at a tiny vignette of life, and delight in the detail and simplicity.

Taking and presenting a shot of this simplicity requires far more skill and empathy than capturing a roaring waterfall or bright shiny object . .

Textures, DoF and composition are perfect. Very nice.

Great macro (as ever) the editing really adds punch and drama to what I'm sure is a very cute little lizard who probably spends his free time in the library reading quietly :- )

Lot's of nice tensions in here to keep the viewer looking and thinking . .

Conflicting horizons between the background and the reflection
Use of bright colour fighting with the muted toning
Curvy shape of the mirrored surface (in colour) against rectangular frame (in b/g colours)
Aged feel of main photo to modern feel of coloured section

There feels almost as though you are a viewer who has opened a small bright portal from another dimension to view these fields and relax . .
