Hi from the Critique Club,

Please pm me with any questions.

Really nice job with the focus and technical part of this picture with one exception. It seems as if if the composition/cropping choice places the lizard too far to the left/top. Maybe it is just too much dirt down below. It was a good choice to leave room on the Right side of the frame as this adds to the 'searching' impression.

You used the curve of his body nicely and I like the somewhat shallow depth of field. The colors are muted but that looks to be somewhat characteristic of the lizard.

Not a bad score in a somewhat low scoring challenge. Without the title, the searching connection would have been more difficult to make...with the title it works. My guess is that although no one mentioned it, the composition hurt you the most in the scoring.

Cheers,
Mark

Good image and a very nice job fading the background out for a good effect.

Well done. My eye comes in at his tail and swoops around up to his head.

Searching for food! Very nice details on the reptile. Good depth of field as well.
