Surprise in my glass

A little green friend found in my glass in the garden.

I thought the way the sun was focused in stripes by the ribbed glass illuminated this little lizard in an interesting way. No I didn't drop the glass on the floor when I found this chap staring back at me....

I have to admit I've never drank so much that I've ever imagined anything close to this in my glass. A great closeup of this cute little fellow. Lovely colours in the photo and nice lighting and shadows. Good job.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake

So who do you suppose was more surprised, you or him? It's a fun shot and I like the position you've placed him in. The temptation to center the subject is often hard to resist and it's works quite well, like this one of yours, when we do something different. Although the bottom right quadrant at first appears empty, I can see blades of grass through the glass and the "emptiness" there allows your friend a direction to go, visually. I also love the double patterning on him (her?) with the mottling of natural color and the stripes thrown by the ribbed glass. I think I'll snitch a copy and send it to my son who has a couple lizards for pets. Thanks.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Gotta agree, the stripes of light add an interesting element. Definite fits the bill, being a low angle too. Wonder if it saw you and wondered about getting out... lol For some reason this popped into my head. help me... lol

A really cool picture. The colors, composition, and lighting are all well done. The one thing that keeps this photo from being even better is that the focus is on the gecko's back and not his eyes. But it's still a very good shot.

It's a very eye-catching photo, and I did feel that I was an ant or something who had just been spotted. :-)
