Beautiful set. My fave is the second. Neat pose and angle. The last one shows off your ring light well.

I have a strong preference for �Chuckwalla (adult)� as it has enough white space and is taken from a nice angle.

Amazing critters! Love the sidewinder... not hard to see why you almost stepped on it since it's so perfectly camouflaged on those pebbles!

The camouflage on most of these critters is very impressive, especially the Horned lizard. Even in the photo, it's somewhat to tell where it's head ends, and the background begins. I can only imagine how difficult it was to find some of these critters.

An extra nice set Fred. The first and next to last stand out for the great eye detail. 2 stands out for excellent use of dof ~ Ron
