This is a beautiful shot. The animals eye is echoed in the background branch.

It is a tad misty and a fine adjustment in curves should eliminate that.

I love the little guy/gal on its own rights, and would have save a second shot without the packaging!

HOWIE

Awesome shot. Was this through glass? Send it to National Geographic if that was a Praying Mantis in its mouth.

If you want people to go easy on you, you should of posted it in "Share Photos" In photography class when I critique peer's work and I dont like it I say "I dont like it" but here I will be nice lol... not that I dont like your photo.

The Good:
Composition is nice, the 2 sticks and the gecko make 3 straight lines in a row, the body has a slight curve at the bottom which is a nice offset.

The Bad:
Flash... You probably couldnt help it... but the color the flash produces ruins it, and the sharp shadow is anoying. A HINT if you have a way to brace yourself when you are indoors shoot in night mode, the shutter speed will be long so you have to be STILL... or carry a tripod with you, that is the best.

The Ugly:
(Ok, nothing ugly, but the good, the bad and the ugly go togther) lol

Maybe that is how I should start critiquing stuff Good, Bad, and Ugly... I never do that... hmm thanks for giving me the idea! ha
