Hi Panku, You are absolutely right. He is great guiding force. When he sends his critiques/comments they look like someone telling you "C'Mon you can do better and better and better" Believe me I am just dying to see him. Sorry regarding your picture superb. Was it hurt or something. I can see some reddish on his neck. Tks friend for sharing this picture. Ganesh

Hello Pankaj,
What a great present for Mr Ram Thakur.
It really looks like the lizard is giving you, and us ofcourse, a big smile :)
Technically perfect with great sharpnes and lighting.
Details are superb and I love the wonderful soft color tones and contrast.
The lizard does stand out lovely against the soft background.
Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Pankaj,
Excellent profile portrait, great details here..The flash has illuminated well, without overpowering the subject. Nice "flashlight" in the eye too :)
Nice color, DOF, POV, and neutral BG.
Well composed - Well done!

Ah yes and how much we learn from each other. Not so much the critical parts of photography, but the feelings that go along with one as special as this. Nice dedication.

Hello Pankaj,
Very fine close-up portrait of a Garden Lizard and a good dedication to our friend Ram.
Excellent sharpness, lighting and detail in a fine composition.
It looks like it has had a little injury around the ear-drum that appears to have spots of blood on it.
Excellent posting!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

A superb Lizard portrait. The face, eye, and skin are very sharp and well presented. The eye with the golden ring and the catchlight is spectacular. Wonderful colors and a fantastic background.

This is a fantastic macro of the lizard's face, Pankaj. Its appeal to me has gone up manifold on account of your kind words about me in your note :-)!
I value and cherish your feelings, though whatever I have extended to you by way of my observations on your work has always been prompted by its fine quality.

The eye of the lizard is in sharp focus and each scale on its body looks fabulous. Without any exaggeration, this is one of the best macro shots of a lizard's face I have ever seen on TN.
Keep it up and best regards.
