As the newest addition of our ever growing reptile family, id like to introduce Valentino. He is a male Harlequin crested gecko. Its a nightmare to get a photo at the best of time of him during the daytime (being nocturnal) but today he must have been feeling adventurous . This is the only close up i managed to get before he scampered off.
Well, I haven't been to New Caledonia, which are off of the east coast of Australia, so I would like mine,(Wood Duck,)to be a brought in an aquarium. That is a terrific peice of photography, the way it holds its head, superb.
ReplyDeletewhat a cool pet!
ReplyDeleteHe is when hes not climbing up the walls (sticky feet !!!)
DeleteAwesome - looks like the Eye of Sauron!
ReplyDeleteCheers Bro. I think its time you dusted off the Nikon and get back out.
DeleteNeat. I love lizards or critters that look like.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteHe has wonderful eyes!
ReplyDeleteits even more creepy when my better half found out that he has no eye lids. !!!
DeleteWow Shaun, that is an amazing photo! Great detail!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy, i think it would be hard getting that eye detail on the birds you photograph.
Deletereally nice close up! love that eye~
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachelle. I do have other reptile that i am hoping to photograph over the coming weeks.
DeleteFantastic close-up of Valentino! Geckos are so cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you JM. you are right on that, Geckos are pretty darn cool
DeleteOh my gosh he's beautiful, very handsome and this is a great close up Shaun. Very enjoyable to see! I love the little fringe he has. I've always been fascinated with reptiles. My daughter-in-law has a pet snake called Peaches. He was part of her family long before she met our son, and I think I surprised her when she discovered I enjoyed reptiles as much as she did, though I have never had one as a pet. Tried when I was a kid but my mum, bless her, couldn't handle the idea of reptiles. We had plenty of other pets though.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot! He appears to be winking. :-)
ReplyDeletea beauty!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is such a great capture! I love the details and that eye! Excellent.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful eyes you have. :)
