This is a beautiful shot, great composition. I think it didn't score better because people at DPC tend to like subjects that pop out. This subject blends beautifully into its surroundings, creating a flat, abstract effect that is vital and artistic and beautiful and that DPCers just never seem to get.

Great idea - looks slightly OOF, especially on the bottom. If this was a DOF decision, it might not be working as well as you intended. Composition could be stronger if the tail weren't cut off. Also, not a huge fan of the border. Overall, this is a shot with some potential - the strong yellow patterning on the lizard adds visual interest, as well as the web it's crawling under.
