Amazing shot!
Really wild, rare to see on TN.
Good colors and details. Compo is ok.

Hello Pedro,
This is a very interesting post! I just wonder if the picture was taken in a wild? I mean if the snake catched the lizard by itself or just was fed by someone? Anyway, it's a very interesing picture captured with very good lighting and details.
VERY WELL DONE!

This macro is ncredible!!!

Hello Pedro,
This one is hard to see it. You saw and got it perfectly! Incredible! All are perfect in the frame. The snake's face looks like animation, and his expression is sneaky and proud. Great contribution! Thank you,
Ersin

Wow, what a great shot.

While it gruesome because of the anole's skin tearing, the way the anole is trying to desperately hang on to the limb, even though the battle is lost, really conveys the mood of life and death and the struggle to survive.

It is a pity there is a snake in this photo, or it would have 30 points by now! Heck, if it was a bird pulling a desperately struggling snake out of a tree, you might have 50 by now!
