Did you really mean to submit this image to the Coffee Shop challenge? It seems like it would be a better fit for the Your Corner of the World II or even the [//www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=387]Complementary Colors II[/url] challenge. If this really does relate to this challenge, indicating how in the title would be a good idea.
On a technical note, this is a nice capture. Bouncing a little more light on the head of the lizard would have improved the image, but wild reptiles often don't cooperate with the camera. The DoF is good, and the contrast between the subject and the background is well done. Cropping out the brown spot on the leaf in the bottom right corner would have helped to keep the viewer's eyes from wandering out of the image. If this had been a challenge under the Advanced Editing rule set cloning out the brown thing behind the branch by the lizard's head would have been nice.
Maybe it's that I don't go into that many coffee shops, but if someone showed me this photo and told me to guess the topic, I would never come up with the coffee shop. That's why I've given you a low score. Sorry.
hmmmm.......coffee shot ? I like the image, center composition wokrs ok.....If I could reasonable tie it to the challenge I'd score it a little higher......5
well, I find myself looking for the coffee shop...and I guess this...this plant is outside the coffee shop (probably under the window) and the lizard is hiding so he doesn't get coffee spilled on him...yep, thats it....good picture 10
