Nice trip to the North West of Qatar today. While picking up a large can top I found this baby button-scaled gecko hidden underneath. I left the can top where it was - at least it's metal and not plastic - and ran for the camera which I had already put away. Comments and critiques always appreciated. Thanks for watching!

Oh he's so cute! Great capture of this, Esme'. Wonderful details/focus on the gecko and nice lighting. However, I think I would like a crop down from the top to make it more of a panoramic. Just a thought. :smile:

A tighter crop would work well here, I think. This little guy is tremendously beautiful - especially that eye! Wow! I really like the simplicity of the composition and the color scheme.
