Your model has rather scaly looking skin; you might suggest that they apply lotion a few hours before they arrive for the shoot. Removing the stick that's close to your model's foot would have improved the shot. The head-down, diagonal placement within the frame adds an element of visual tension which, while effective, seems in need of a subtle complement (e.g. a diagonal element crossing underneath the head) to underscore the tension.
This is a really interesting photo! i love the tone and the contrast between the lizard and the dirt! the peice of wood, and the marks on the ground make the photo! wonderfull job! I love it!
I think you probably got tied up in the "outside the box" thinking here, and went a bit too far. This would be a great image for a textbook, or documentary
Hmmmm. It is a naked lizard. I think the lighting is a little off, perhaps too dark. The curve of the little fella's body is a good pose for him (her?).
Umm. Should have removed the stick at the bottom middle of the picture. it is distracting.
Does your model know you took that and posted it on the internet???
I just don't find this interesting on any level. I'm not trying to be rude, but whether it matches the challenge or not isn't my critique. Just kind of there like a quick shot walking down the road. I hope this isn't offensive.
