Description

Hello GFXers! Due to popular demand that I "try something different" and a challenge from MoserArtist that I "try NON HDR for my next submission," I decided, what the hell! So here you are folks, an NON-HDR shot! Hope you folks enjoy!

Nikon D200
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Prime
Photoshop CS3 Extended

Here's a little information on my little girls!

The Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is a nocturnal ground-dwelling gecko found in the deserts of Pakistan, Western India, Afghanistan, and deserts of Iran. The scientific names comes from 'eu blephar' (true eyelid, referring to working eyelids, something which most gecko species lack) and 'macularius' (spotted).

As always, your C/C is welcomed and appreciated!

Nice work Tommy!

You stood up for the pressure and challenge from me! :)

I like that attitude!

Great looking gecko's! ;)

Congrats for finally see blackshad share one of his rare +10 votes!
That is trully AMAZING (sorry Daykan for using your reserved fav word) :p LOL

Hope more could follow on that thread (the diversity)... ;)

Who is next!

I am thinking of posting something that is toward the nude:ich line... :)

(note: not myself) :p

PS. I'd push just a tiny bit more on contrast for this one (might be my monitor)

Now that is just damn cool. The only thing that bugs me is that the image is juuuuust shy of being a square, so looks a little "off". I might push for more contrast but I don't know if the texture behind the lizards would fare well from it. (So nevermind, lovely shot!)

this is excellent. i absolutely love the composition, it's like you would've put them there on purpose. the way the tree complements their shape of their bodies and the colors is just fantastic. it does look a bit too bright on my screen though(LCD), so i'd just like to see a darker version of it. it's a gorgeous photo though.
+10 for sure

Great capture, and very nice colours... I love this kind of orange :) There seems to be some noise though, and it seems slightly out of focus. But those are just small details... Great shot and composition overall! :)

Btw, I think its great you tried a normal piece... You should post more non-HDR... Unless you love to make HDR, but your fully capable of making normal pictures, as youll probably know :)

I like the Ying and Yang style composition - it has a very 'Zen' type feel to it.
Reminds me in style, of the Grasshopper and Flamingo pics you posted just after you got gold jacketed - they were my favourite of your images and this is in the same ballpark. Fine work!

The curves in this photo are amazing... really brings out the beauty in nature and how it can sometimes make beautiful compositions on its own. Great framing! +10

I love leopard geckos, I use to have several of them as pets. Actually, I use to breed them too. The ones in the images are young correct? Their color/markings are so vivid. Wonderful shot.
