I think what makes this photo so good is the wood...the sunlight on it gives such a great feeling of warmth..and then to know that lizzie is lounging...its just a great pic!!
The wood shot alone would have received my attention. Seeing this little guy in great focus and postion with respect to the lighting was a nice surprise.
Oh, I love images that combine different textures. Like this one.
The wood itself could be a study, but, the addition of the lizard adds another element, visually and texturally. Could be a tad more clearer for full impact. However, having said that ... I really like this.
The focal light is very pleasing to the eye, contrasting well with the darker wood.
