I'm afraid this one just doesn't work well for me... there's too much reflection to see the animal. I honestly can't tell whether that's a dog, cat or other pet.

Comment by tomzinho:
its an interesting shot with the reflection. i wish the cat came out just a bit stronger - as is the sky and the plants seem to draw my eye more than the cat.

Different but it meets the challenge.

Greetings from the Critique Club!...

COMPOSITION... Not too much I can impart here. The background is not cluttered and effectively looks like part of the anole's natural habitat, though it probably isn't. Most of the anole is sharply in focus.. what's most critical is the eyes - they look a little soft but nothing too serious. The only thing that I would change is including the tail... I don't mind when certain elements are cropped, but in this case it looks like the anole is anchored to the right side of the photo. Cropping off more to the left would probably balance it and eliminate this feeling also. Though you've made green your dominant color, it isn't the kind of shot that would immediately think that color is the most important aspect of the photo. The topic is open to a wide degree of subjectivity though and everyone's got their own ideas as to what fits the challenge and doesn't.

TECHNIQUE...Focus and clarity are good, the only thing I could say is that the light looks slightly harsh (or photo a tad over-sharpened?) just around the feet and belly areas.

OVERALL...depending on an animal's hyperactivity, animal shots can be a difficult thing to get done right, and I like the pose and setup of your cricket-eating machine :) It's definitely is a subject I'd want to go back to and capture again and again :)

It's a shame you cut off the tail. Otherwise this is a really good job.
