Perfect title……OR it could even be a frozen leaping frog……LOL

Thanks, Pam. I can see the frog, too. 🙂

Wow. Incredible. I see what you see. And it’s incredible. Anatomically correct and beautiful! Jesus!
The silkiness of the image is in stark contrast to the subject creating inexplicable tension and drama. I am staring in disbelief.
Masterful, Lemony.

Wow, George. Your words and assessment of the image mean so much to me. I am deeply encouraged. Thank you. I’m so glad you see what I see. 🙂 It was a lucky find, this Lizard. I wasn’t sure if what I was seeing would come through clearly in the photograph.

Fantastic! 🙂

Thank you, Inga!

Wow, what a brilliant icy capture…..looks like a slippery fellow though!
January 21, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Thank you, Seonaid. Yes, slippery is the word for this Lizard, indeed. 🙂

Absolutely marvelous.

Thank you, Elena!

It also looks rather like a stalking cat!

A cat! Interesting! 🙂 Thanks, skadhu!

I’ve never seen ice freeze into such reptilian looking plates. It reminds me of a liverwort I found last fall.
January 21, 2014 at 11:12 pm
I was surprised by those reptilian looking plates, too. The idea of reptilian liverwort sounds very intriguing! 🙂

Wonderful images. But it’s a frog… 🙂

Ha ha! Okay! We’ll roll with it. 😀 Thanks, Earl!

What a fascinating natural ice sculpture you’ve found here! The lizard concept is spot-on, but the ice helmet thing is slightly-disturbingly reminiscent of the creature from the “Alien” movie. And your detail and choice of background and DOF are exquisite!

Thank you, Gary! Oh, yes, I can see what you mean about the Alien creature. Yikes! 🙂
January 23, 2014 at 4:20 pm
Cool. Just cool.
January 22, 2014 at 9:18 pm
So kind of you! Thank you much. 🙂
January 23, 2014 at 4:20 pm
Wonderfully uncanny!
January 23, 2014 at 2:39 pm
🙂 Thanks, Richard. I’m glad you think so!
January 23, 2014 at 4:21 pm
very cool! what objective do you use? 🙂

Thank you, Amanda. I was using a macro lens for this with my Lumix G5. Thanks so much for your visit! 🙂

Tremendous compositions.
What I am seeing is a primordial whale with legs making its way towards the sea.
Then again, I once saw the face of Popeye in a pancake. It was a real miracle because it was supposed to be the face of Yoda. 😀
