Lovely portrait! I just want to add, after having looked at this photo again and again over the week, that this is definitely a great example of everything a photo in this challenge should be, in my opinion. The colors are rich, the composition is interesting and keeps the eye moving, and the title adds a neat personal descriptiveness that you don't otherwise get. The white sky on the right is a bit blown out, which is a peeve of mine, but I'm changing my score on this from a 9 to a 10 because I really hope to see it in first place! Well done! :)

I really like the way you captured the subject. The tree in the forground is a nice touch. It can go without the red line in the border.

Initial thoughts
Fantastic image with lovely clean background.

Composition/ Content
I really like both the content and composition here. I think the low perspective really shows off the wonderful texture of his scales and the subject really lends itself beautifully to b/w. I really like the shallow DOF though I�d like the focal point bought forward so that the tip of his nose/ mouth is in focus and the area that is out of focus starts slightly further forward on his neck � that would highlight the shallow DOF more though so it depends if that�s what you wanted to do.

Background
I love the background � although it�s beautifully clean and plain there are vague hints of shading and light which add interest.

Camera Work - Technical
Some of the whites are just a little too blown out for my preferences � particularly on his left �knee� and at the lower left of his face (to the right in the frame as we look at it).

Fits The Challenge
Excellently.

My Opinion On The Photo
I really like this image � I think it�s well taken and very striking.
