"This image has high impact because of its extremely shallow depth-of-field and unique perspective/camera angle. The sharp eye looking back at the viewer (with just a hint of orange and natural catchlight) also conveys strong emotion and a sense of mystery. The soft-focus vignetting on all four corners helps draw the viewer’s eyes inward toward the “eye" and is in stark contrast to the wonderful texture of this reptile's skin." - Charles Needle
