 Its hard to photograph an animal that moves so much so this is the best portrait I got of my gecko. Post processing includes level adjustments, contrast adjustments, burning, and cropping.

i don't think this is his best camera angle, only his head is in focus and i'd like to see more of him because of the lovely colors..

I'm lookin' at you kid! LOL! Very cute Gecko. I love these little guys! This is a nice shot and the DOF is okay but the coloration seems a bit dull and could use a bit of POP factor to make it stand out. A 6

DOF problem in this one. The nose is out of focus as is the legs and body. I get the feeling this guy was coming for you and you took a quick shot and ran! Nice try, keep working at it.

Your focus point is behind the mouth, so it seems blurry in the front and in the back. I would prefer this with the mout in focus and the blur all to the rear. Cool gekko, though.

I'm not too fond of the DOF. The nose should have been in.

Nice job with the DOF! :) Wish his nose was a little more in focus, but the eyes say it all. :)

Handsome lizard. I would suggest maybe a bit less (strong light) and shot from the side so we could see his/her eyes.

I might have used a slightly smaller aperture so the whole face would be in focus. Cute lizard :)

I can't tell if his nose is a little out of focus or if that's just the pattern. Regardless, I am an amphibian fan and this is a great shot.
