Since you asked for comments, I'll try to say something helpful. I have not read the comments that have already been made so I may repeat things that have already been said.
I think it is a nice shot of the skink. I get a good sense of what the creature is like and I can almost feel him squirming around between the fingers. I think it would have been much better if you could have shown more of the skink. It would have been great if he could have been on top of or in front of the two fingers in the foreground.
The out-of-focus background is nice--it is certainly not distracting from the animal. But I don't think the bokeh is adding much either.
I wish I could see the original. I have a feeling that the bokeh in green might add a sense of natural plant environment that would enhance the image. I'm also not fond of the partial desaturation. There is just enough color to make me start wondering about the color of the skink. I think I would prefer it in black and white. It is also possible that you could just turn down the green channel to take care of the excess and yet leave the hand and skink looking reasonably natural.

| I love the colours. A slight border would complete pic.. but it's still lovely without it. |

| A little sharper and a little better lighting, and do something where the background enhances the foreground, and my vote would've been higher. |

| This is a very subtle photo. The colours are understated. But the bokeh is very good. 7. |

| Too much focus on the fingers and not quite enough on the skink. |

| I loved the desaturation and shallow DoF though I won't ever hold that thing in my hands :) Goodluck.9. |
