This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Edge.’ (See more offerings here.) My first thought was this image, but I hadn’t actually ever taken such a photo. So I took my camera outside and wandered around. It wasn’t long before I found an obliging gecko keeping a beady eye on my movements.
The reason I was confident of getting this photo is because this is a typical pose for geckos. They’re constantly peeking over the edge of roofs, around corners, and around the edge of the leaves they occupy. They’re constantly on the lookout for prey – and predators.
In this case, the gecko was on my side of the leaf when I approached, but zipped to the other side, before checking out what I was up to.

I agree with what Terri says. It’s a beautiful shot, especially given that you’re drawn into that eye amongst the greenery of the photo: a great capture, Graham.

Thanks Hugh. It’s a pose I often see, but have never captured before. Thanks for the prompt!

It was a fairly obliging gecko. I’ve often seen that one eyeball looking at me, but haven’t taken a photo before.
