AHA! I needed to find that image I mentioned in my earlier post.

Here it is (by wavelength).

This was one of my faves during the challenge. Instead of green, I'm seeing blue! What a departure from the expected. The little guy's silhouette, eventhough we've seen a dozen times, never seems to get old ;) Great find Jimmy!

Hey! I've seen this guy somewhere else before... ;^) No, really! Now I'll have to find it - a very similar shot. Nonetheless, I like this. Looks like the voters did also. You did a nice job in laying out the composition, using the dark area lower right to create a ROT type comp.

I may be wrong, but this image seems to depict a silhouette... not a shadow. Your score may suffer due to this. Best of luck.

I love the blue color and the lizard, but he is a silhouette, not a shadow.
