I would like to know how you got this. Where were you to get that angle? This is a nice clear photo. The lighting is good as well. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you for your review.Taken at a local zoo in the reptile exhibit. This is a Tuatara lizard from an island off Australia. The exhibit was behind glass and I did not see the lizard. I got on my knees and found that the cave was also behind the glass and the lizard was in there. I shot the photo from behind the cave and captured the lizard in the opening. Certainly a different perspective.

A beautiful image that makes me wonder how you got behind this iguana. A very fine perspective with sharp details and beautiful colors. Best of luck in the contest.

This is an amazing mixed media. The Lizzard and its burrow look big. The reptile reminds me of Jurassic animals. Your photo is exellent focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the sharpness of detail and textures. The light shining into the hole emphasises the Lizzaes remarcably. The blue sky at the backgrounbd amlifies the plants outside. The mixede media is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that rough looking reptile. Wonder how you got that unexpected angle? Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
