Wow! Great timing to catch this one. Very good clarity, and I also like the little extra of his claws just barely on the bottom leaf.

This is a beautiful photo...but the only that makes me think morning in the shot is the title...this could have been shot at 4 PM...not taking away from the great image though...nothing really wrong with it...love the greens

I'm a sucker for reptiles! It's great how you can even see the teeth on the little anole, and the scale details. 8

Eeeps! Lizards don't normaly scare me but that seeing that bug in his mouth gave me the creeps! This is such a great image! Wish his little claws were in focus but other than that great. The greens are very vibrant.

the image is great but is impossible to prove that is a breakfast and not a lunch :) but I think that there are many sunsets written as sunrise. hence i rate the photo and the possible dnmc is only for curiosity :) 10

It's a nice picture - but it doesn't say "morning" to me if it wasn't for your title. And it might as well have been called "Supper", "Dinner" or "Lunch"...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/16/2006 12:44:01 AM
wow! fantastic clarity and colour...I guess we'll have to take your word for it that this was breakfast because other than the title, there is nothing to indicate morning 8
