I wonder where that skink lives... I've seen 'em from Virginia to Tennessee, but I don't know what their actual range is. Used to catch'em and keep them as pets when I was a kid.

I said all that and then realized I'm talking about the skink, and not the picture. That, in my mind, is the best indicator of a really great picture. I like everything about it, the lichens, pine needles, dead leaves, and the attitude of the lizard within the shot. Great composition, great choice of subject, ...

Thanks DLH! It's funny, I had just found the memory card from a summer hike with this photo on it... really glad I went through these old photos!
