I really would stay away from that blur effect. I think it takes away a lot and makes him look over exposed.

Thanks for the show of support for the giant day gecko shot. It'll be one of my new ones whenever I get new art prints made!

I'm not much of a gecko guy, but I sure know an awesome pic when I see one...

Great stuff, Bill. The geckophiles will have that one sold out in a jiffy!

Wow! The colors are superb! Do you use any filters on your camera lenses to catch such color?

That image was shot 8+/- years ago on Fujichrome ASA-50 slide film. I went totally digital over 2 years ago, and now shoot with a 10.2 mp Nikon D200.

Great picture and love the superness of the colors and his green really does stand out on the branch.

The cockroach looks like he's saying his prayers.

What speed film did you use or did you go digital?

When using film I usually use 800 speed unless I have a need for something where I can't use a flash. Then I use 1600 speed film. Its super great film.

I love it. The gecko really seems to glow against the darker background. Awesome pic! But I got to admit, that cockroach is somewhat gross.

I make art posters of some of my images to sell online and at herp shows. From time to time, people ask me if I'll be making any new ones of different herp subject matter. One request I've had was for a cool day gecko pic. This is among my all-time favorites, but it's hard for me to tell if it's just me who loves my own shot, or if it might have mass appeal as a wall poster. Please give me your honest opinion on whether you think this is something that would have broad appeal and maybe sell well as a 16" wide by 24" high art photo poster.

I photographed this adult giant day gecko Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis near the airport at Diego-Suarez at the northern tip of Madagascar while waiting for my plane to leave. I saw the lizard running around on the tree trunk with something white in its mouth. I thought it might be carrying an egg of some kind, but saw that it was a freshly molted coackroach when I crept closer.
