Interesting critter. I really want to like the piece but for me it just feels out of focus and missing detail. Sure there is a lot going on here but for me I would have liked a bit more separation and clarity.

I really like the textures and huge variety of colors in your shot. The small anole (I'm guessing) is just the icing on the cake. Also, your vignette works perfectly for your subject matter by focusing the viewer on the lizard.. The little plant sprouting out by the tail is sorta cool too, adds some interest to the scene.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I really like the way this has an abstract feel to it - it offers something of having an overlay (but without the overlay!) Other than the plant the rest of the scene looks like it is shrink wrapped in plastic. Going back to the plant - I think it is a vital element in the image, it anchors the eye and allows it to wander out and explore. It would be a chaotic image without it. I also like the brown/blue/green colour palette.

Critical stuff: I do wish the head / tops of eyes were a tad sharper, though I can see that this might diminish the camouflage effect.

Overall: A well constructed and edited image.
