Hello Radomir,
This is a real beauty! I love the way the tail is curled up to fit into your frame! ;-)Great capture from a low POV showing sharp details and fine colours. I like the beautiful light too and the wet stone that must be an unusual environment for this one. Perhaps it needed cooling down. :-))
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Radomir,
An excellent capture of this lizard.
Its not easy to get such a reptile in the whole frame but its curved its tail and give you a great pose too.
Great colours and excellent sharp detail.
Excellent work and a good informative note also.

Hello Radomir.
I could see you did not loose you time in Macedonia :)
What a beautiful capture, clear, well exposed, pleasant and descriptive pose with wonderful composition in this wet enviroment. Skin is a joy to look at and the texture of the wet moss on the stone looks really natural.
Lovely!
Best regards, Felipe.

Hi Radomir

A great shot - it looks so clear it could jump out of my screen.

Hello Radomir,

A well deserved break after all those pictures of rocks. This is a great macro photograph! I've never seen such a small lizard.

Composition:

This great composition makes your lizard look huge. I could never have told it was only 4 cm long. The little stone also looks like a big rock and I appreciate you included such a big part of it in your composition. The gradually decreasing sharpness towards the water surface adds good perspective to your composition. It also isolates the foreground nicely. I find the green algae very interesting. Eye contact is also very good!

Colors:

The colors look natural and are well saturated. Green is all this picture needs to add some chromatic diversity. The brown textures and patterns on the lizard's body are well shown.

Contrast:

The well adjusted contrast defines the details better.

Exposure:

Exposure is spot on! The details were preserved in both shadows and highlights and even the areas where light reflects from the wet stone look outstanding. The flash did a good job by lighting up the shadows a bit.

Focus:

Good focus on the lizard and a well controlled DOF to blur the background. I like the way you use the deeper DOF of your camera to your advantage. Sharpness is also great! I can see every scale in the lizard's skin.

As usual, an outstanding presentation with well written notes! Thank you for sharing!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Excellent DOF, color, light, POV, and sharp details Radomir.
The mossy stone and curled-up tail adds to your composition nicely.
Well done!

Okay, Radomir...
A very good one!
No doubts whatsoever.
Congrats!
To mention a few examples: the overall Lizard sharpness, the tail is in the image (most images have a problem concerning the former), the depth in image (3D) is outstanding, etc.

Hello Radomir,
Great capture of a young Common Wall Lizard! Not only is the technical quality of the shot excellent, but you caught him in a fine pose on the alga-covered stone in fine lighting. Beautiful shot of this tiny lizard.
Thanks for sharing this and for your kind words on my first anniversary on TN!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hello Radomir,
emotionally appealing encounter, making me feel closely related to this creature. Excitingly well reported textures. The wet rocks offer a fascinating back ground.
With thanks, and best regards,

Hello Radomir !
These lezards are very common in my country too, I love them ! And you captured this one perfectly : the details on the skin are amazing, beautiful patterns, and the pose of the lizard is wonderful. Beautiful natural colors, splendid composition and POV, and the rocks in the BG are wonderful. Very well done !

I love this one for everything! Sharpness, colors, composition, POV, DOF... Even that pose with the tail coiled! Ha,ha.

Hi my dear friend

I was just looking through your recent galery and i saw that i've missed some very very nice reptile shots.
I'm sure the balkans weren't in a shortage of these anumals :))

I really love this photo of this muralis and the way you managed to keep the entire enimal - from snout to tail - insuch a great focus.
The positioning of the animal is also wonderful - on that wet algae - which makes it stand out even better and amphasizes it's pattern and textures.
Very good exposure and POV as well.
All-in-all: a charming photo!

Bravo, take care and TFS
Horia

PS: did you get a chance to update your PES gallery?
