This is an excellent photo. It really holds my interest, I find myself looking at everything to decipher what it all is and says. Position in the frame is excellent. Lighting is great. I can only offer 1 thing; the glare in the glasses is distracting me. Otherwise, a perfect shot. I could see this hanging on an office wall. Well done.

Edited because I just read your comments on the image. That makes the photo even better. Quite impressive and a lovely tribute. :-)

Interesting take on a macro photo. I really like how the lizard appears to be real by taking a drink. I like the solid black, it makes the lizard stand out more. The mirror underneath him is a nice touch. I wish the tail weren't chopped, I feel like I'm following the image up and being abruptly stopped. There is some 'noise' on the surface, maybe dust on the mirror, and that is distracting me.

Overall, a nice shot and very good idea!

Nice shot! Lighting is quite attractive. Can\'t imagine who in their right mind would have wanted to disqualify this (I gather that\'s what\'s meant by \"validated by the administrators\").

VERY interesting... shame about the glare from the marble. Makes me ponder a lot, this one. Great lighting, wonderful concept. I'd have perhaps liked a blue/green marble. A good take on the challenge. 8
