 This little lizard was rattling the bars on the ceiling as if he was trying to escape, and the big guy next to him just sat there, blinking, as if to say.. "You are Mad." This was in Reptile World at Bristol Zoo, England.

Ben, Awesome! Your mastery of lighting places you in rare company, and you're still young enough to be considered a prodigy! I look forward to learning from you and many of the others in this community that exhibit such technical expertise and the coveted 'Photographer's eye'.

I am not typically a fan of borders but your borders on this photo really work well and enhance the image.

what is that other lizard? It looks like it has mouths for feet. Very cool looking. Good shot.

Very good composition and great detail on the skin of the left "dragon". I find the busy background above the cage disturbing. I don't know if you had control over the situation though.

:D Very cute capture - clear and sharp. Also love how the left's face leads to the other, as well as the stick - a natural flow.

very ineteresting composition :) I think the tops of the lizards are a little too close to the top of the frame, but still a good shot :) - setzler
