Natalie Cunningham, Gold Dust Day Gecko (ANIMAL 2023)

A stunning bright green Gold Dust Day gecko contrasted against the creamy white cladding of an old Hawaiian shack seeking refuge from predators. The droplets of water reflected the tropical sun giving a sprinkle of a light burst which offers enough interest without distracting from the beauty of the creature as well as perspective and size.
