Nice shot! My critique: rotate the little frog so he's looking eight-sided up? Possibly crop slightly.. I look forward to following and learning from you!

Location
This was taken at a garden in Honolulu, HITime
This was taken at 9:00am after the morning showers fill this plant with water. The gecko come out and drink the rain water.Lighting
The lighting was all natural. It was a cloudy day and it created a nice soft light for this photo.Equipment
I used a Sony A7ii with a 70-300G f/5.6, No tripod and flash.Inspiration
I saw many photos that Darcy Fiero took of Geckos and I loved it. You can find her work at https://www.instagram.com/darcyfierophotography/Editing
I did a little bit of processing. I toned down the highlights and brought out details in the shadows.In my camera bag
My equipment is pretty standard. My Sony A7ii, Zeiss Batis 18mm lens, Sony 24-70 lens, a remote control, tripod, a chair to relax, and a Spam Musubi to snack on.Feedback
Slow down and not try to rush the shot. When you are still, the gecko will come out of hiding and maybe pose for you.
