Week #1 - Colorful Madagascar Gecko
by Laura Milholland

CA Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, CA

I loved the coloring on this gecko. Although it looks like he was lying still on the branch
he was not. I caught him here as he was walking down the branch.

These are only found in northwestern Madagascar.

Wow! He is a beauty. Love the dark background which really sets off his colors. Wonderful composition and lighting.

Sweet image. Cool looking Gecko. I like that she is a blond.

I like the colors on him. The green head really stands out and the fade to blue is gorgeous. You did a great job catching him.

You didn't go to Madagascar, did you? Very nicely shot! Colors, composition, and clarity are all good. Beautiful critter.
