 OK this is an obvious shoehorn. I will probably get a bunch of DNMC comments. This Gecko was real cooperative. He let me get real close and didn't even move. I guess he/she liked getting it's picture taken.

I acctually gave this image a 10. I love the nine around his eye. It's a well seen composition. Love the bright colours too.

p.s. if I see one more "shoe-horn" comment from others, I am going to puke... how does it help the photographer?

Nice image, but you will be dinged for shoe horning.

classic case of shoehorning by the title. except for the noise not a bad image, though

I keep looking for the shape of a nine in the eye but just don't see it - if it's just a play on words its too much of a stretch for me to say it really meets the spirit of the challenge.

From a technical standpoint I like the focus on the eye but you seem to have a lot of digital noise (over sharpening maybe?) that is distracting.

Really nice close up, but I don't see the connection to the challenge.

Sorry, the only thing that makes this fit is the title, should have entered this into the free study
