Baby Gecko II

"Hi, grandpa, how you doin'? Can I stay on here, if you don't mind? It's cool up here.
"Aw! Don't keep on shooting that awful light at me! It hurts the eye."
"Sorry, little one; just one more and I'd be off, promise."


Here is the second and perhaps the last image of this baby Gecko I am posting today.
My intention was to capture the expression in the eyes of this little fellow. These eyes may not be all that eloquent, but they do convey a degree of trust this newly born creature seemed to have in me.

Well I haven't seen it again in the last four days though its mother (presumably) was there in the kitchen this morning and scampered away pretty fast to her lair behind the shelf. And it looked slimmer; maybe I'm right in presuming she is the mother and is now rid of her burdens.

Cheers and thanks for looking!

Hi Mr. Ram,
Very good expression of the subject. Sorry I was unable to ID the fly in prev post. Most probably it is some sort of social wasp. Anyway this house lizard is so beautiful and you have captured it very well. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Ram,
Your opening paragraph sums up the feeling of the photo really well. Its a good POV and intiamte.
Well done Ram.
regards
Matt.

Hi Ram,
Awesome eyes and such ignorance and innocence in them. Great POV to capture this pose and spot-on focus detailing it head and eyes superbly. Very interesting note you have written with those opening dialogues. Grandpa????? Who? Just hilarious. I had a good laugh at your sense of humour.
TFS this shot as well as the joke.

Hi Ram,

Another fine shot of one of your geckos. Those big eyes on such a small creature are amazing. Wonder what you will come up with next!

This is really cute Ram. You picked an adorable subject that has the cutest eyes I've ever seen and your selection of the POV couldn't be better. :)

Hello Ram,
What a sweet baby with such big eyes, great exposure and focus, thanks for sharing Ram.

It works well this way, but I am sure you already knew that....in this case capturing the look..or perhaps better conveying a feeling for the true non distance between humans and creatures...For if they were given eyes, then why not to see us as well?
