I rarely shoot animals these days. But this portrait of a ashy gecko (Sphaerodactylus elegans) is one of my better ones.

Hi Chisox.
Lovely, some might have photoshopped the twig out, but I like it, I think it goes towards the animals temperament, using the last little bit of cover to try to hide!

Cheers Graham.

Thanks Graham, appreciate the feedback. I do have one with her bent down with her head in the opening as well but to your point I liked the behavior aspect of this shot where she thought that little bit of twig might keep me from seeing her.

Yet another Bobcat. There's a story attached to this one. I was out photographing dragonflies this morning with my 5Diii and a 180mm Macro. Not exactly the setup for wildlife photography (other than insects). But, as I was walking down a path, I came around a bend and encountered this cat. It was about 15 feet away and very laid back. So, I took advantage of what I had and made this and a few other photos. I'll say this: the lens makes up in sharpness for what it lacks in focal length and it is a superb short-medium telephoto.

Shot at ISO 640, f6.3, aperture preferred.

Awesome Steven! I only run into them rarely, though their tracks and scat(along with at least one mountain lion) are in areas I frequent.
