Good composition, and as usual when you do these type images - great perspective Nicola! Sweet detail on the head and eye and nice work with the flash light!

Beautiful. How much time did you have to capture this image before the gecko took off?

thank you.
i had plenty of time!
it was still in that position for a long time. i -and a herpetologist-photographer who was with me- took dozens of photos having much time to set camera and lighting to realize different things. then the gecko decided to get into that trunk we didn't take ​​any more shots, but it was more than enough. :)

Hi

An excellent composition that using both the subject curves and continues the effect nicely through those grasses – very nicely done

All the best
