Gekko gecko - Tokay Gecko
Macro of a Tokay Gecko's Eye
7/24/05 indoor aquarium shot - GPC, Gaithersburg MD

Maybe it's a common picture because of the beauty of the lizard, but it's difficult to get that close to them. Yes, he is gaping his mouth at me, trying to destroy my being. Or something. I just liked the high detail that came out from the picture.

That looks so cool, good work.

I would have changed the perspective to a bit angled to the right, and put the eye closer to the right side, so you could get a perspective of the eye, and the lizards length, or body; and a border would top it off.

Cheers.

This is an excellent eye-study macro. The details are just splendid! And I do love the ominous open mouth! But damn... look at that eye. It's just gorgeous. No other word for it!

Fantastic macro ~ beautiful subject ~ and a gorgeous capture!
