Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Leaving home
We caught this lizard in one of our traps - it's a Lamprophilis amicula (secretive skink) ... when we let it go, it headed straight for what must have been its 'home' log. If you sit long enough, and quitely enough - they eventually leave home

Steve - we use 'pitfall traps' - essentially a series of 20 litre buckets buried up to the lip, and with approximately 15 metres of drift fence running along above/between the buckets. An animal walks along, comes in contact with the drift fence, and continues along it, trying to get around to the other side. Comes to the bucket and falls in
Sits in comfort under leaf litter until we come and check the trap line the following morning. Not sure if this makes sense, so this is a photo from the web of the setup (can't be bothered trying to find one of mine sorry  )

thanks Rel,
I have often found lizards around here trapped in buckets, nowadays I try to not leave them where the lizards can become trapped. I knew what you meant without the pic, but a picture is always worth a thousand words. Steve check out my image gallery @

Nicely composed Rel. I agree that the grain and colour of the log complements the lizard's portrait. As a behavioural shot his exit from the hole in the log adds an element of mystery that adds to the overall imapct of the image.
cheers marco
