Bibron's Gecko

I thought this shot was interesting but it seems to be missing something that I am not able to pinpoint. I am thinking a different angle would have proved more interesting maybe. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I see what you mean, it has potential bit it isn't quite there. My eye settles on the top of his head and stays there, I think the beauty of a shot straight down on a critter like this is symmetry and the outline which is missing with the close crop. This feels crowded and my eye has nowhere to go. If the eye isn't the focus of an animal shot you have to compensate with something else that defines the critter.
It looks like its a neat subject! I hope you revisit it
