Posted January 26, 2015 The theme this week is wild animal close ups. The animals in question can be photographed in zoos or out in nature, just no pet close ups! Examples: Gorge-ball wolfie in a sanctuary! Crow at the top of a mountain we had climbed Deadline for entries: Monday Feb 2, 2015 The usual rules apply: - One entry per person - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.) - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. Good luck to all.

Hope you like it Lizard Possibly a sand lizard from the looks of things. Perhaps a young male or juvenile out of breeding season. (I don't think I have anything worth entering this round. I just like to play researcher and ID herps when people dunno.) Share this post Link to post
