Artist's Comments

I caught this little bugger in the backyard of my country house. He escaped the deadly blades of my lawnmower but, unfortunately, lost his tail in the process.

Never mind, National Geographic says he'll grow another one. :-)

So I picked him up (OK, I chased him around the yard) and put him on top of this old well. He was a really good model, very still and very cooperative. I took about 30 shots of him from all kinds of angles and he patiently waited until I was done and then just buzzed off. Thanks, little dude!

Anyways, I hope you like it, I think it's a pretty neat shot. Just a bit blurry but then again, this was at 135mm hand held.

Ever since this got a DD I've been getting tons of favs and messages. Thank you all but the 20% of you who wrote that this isn't a gecko - I KNOW! I just thought "Gecko" sounded cooler than "Lizard" or "Reptilius Tinyius Whateverus" :D

Daily DeviationGecko by ~fanaticus Comment by *GreenEyedHarpy "What makes it beautiful? The composition is perfect, the use of muted colours, the flow through of the grey and green of the subject, into the background. The dof and clarity of focus is wonderful and the way the photo has been displayed is professional and classy. What an amazing capture!" (Suggested by ~GreenEyedHarpy and Featured by `KevLewis)

se sjecas mozda igrice Gex the Gecko? arkadica sa nekim malim zelenim gusterom. a "gecko" je vrsta malog, bezopasnog, tropskog gustera koji izgleda, pa, skoro kao ovaj :)

fala :-D

Totalno cool fotka. Super je kontrast ovog zamagljenog "mekog" djela iza gustera i prednjeg fokusiranog "ostrog" djela. I guster ide iz mutnog u ostro sto je isto jako cool. Pozadina je bas dobre tamnozelene boje koja se super komplementira s svijetlo zelenom bojom gustera. Super "feel" ima fotka.

Da su bar svi modeli tolko cooperative:-)
