Interesting take on a macro photo. I really like how the lizard appears to be real by taking a drink. I like the solid black, it makes the lizard stand out more. The mirror underneath him is a nice touch. I wish the tail weren't chopped, I feel like I'm following the image up and being abruptly stopped. There is some 'noise' on the surface, maybe dust on the mirror, and that is distracting me.
Overall, a nice shot and very good idea! |

CC Hi JohnBoy!
Fits The Challenge-*Mostly* yes.
Composition-Good except for the bobbed tail.
Background-Good
My Opinion-Technically: score of 90%.. -5 for the tail and -5 a bit dark. Both are minor and easily corrected or changed. Since we don't have something to compare the lizard to it's hard to tell the size and that is why I question the _fits the challenge_. Secondly the mirror. It took me a long time to see it. I will tell you once I did I thought it added to the shot. Last but not least ....the 'Oasis'. I don't see it well enough to recognize it for what it is. Now after reading your note and then later posts I know. I will tell you during the challenge I didn't have a clue what it was. It not a bad shot at all and has appeal. |

| I seem to remember giving a lower score on this shot because it seemed to miss the "macro" mark. I like the composition and the focus is brilliant, but It was too wide and too far back to be macro. |

The lighting is brilliant but it is not enough of a macro for me...
I expect macro shots to be of something quite small and this is hard to guage the size of. |

| Absolutely beautiful colors on your subject. great lighting, good focus too. Lovely photography. It's too bad you cropped off his tail, or you would have had more points. |

| I don't like the mirror for a backdrop on this particular photo. The water really makes this image somewhat dynamic. Good idea to add that in |

| Nice! Is that a shiny black surface or a mirror? If the latter, I'd like to see a how'd they do that! 9 |
