Great shot
Lovely shot! Great expression!
WHAT?!?!?!
I haven´t favorited this yet?
But it´s an AWESOME spotting!
Why could I be so...
Nevermind. Congrats!
Thank you Karen, and everyone for your kind words! Dragoon, you're correct! I was trying to photograph a butterfly with a macro lens when I came nose-to-nose with this little guy. I changed lens for the last 3 shots.
Congratulations Daniele!
Beautiful! Congratulations Daniele!
Love the eyes and the beautiful coloration! Congratulations on the honor, Daniele!
Congratulations, Daniele!
Such a cute spotting! Congratulations Daniele!
Beautiful! That must've taken a small aperture-- I'd guess 1.8 or 2.8 on the first two? Great captures of a great little fella!
congratulations Daniele. Not at all surprised that this got a place in the Best of 2012. It would have been unfair if it hadn't. I love it!
Congratulations Daniele :):)
Congrats Daniele! This adorable little gecko has been chosen as a runner up in the Best of 2012, reptiles category.
