This one gets my vote mainly for the excellent theoretical photography. This one should be in the textbooks. The viewer's idea of scale is challenged with a lizard that looks "normal" until you realize what it is she's resting on. The lines of the thumb draw us around the photo but also right to the subject whose jawline then send us up to her eye and then off into space. The watercolor pinkiness of the photo gives it just the right touch of art.

This photo is fabulous. Your thumb is just as interesting as the lizard itself because we see it as it does -- large and with texture. The other reviewer is right - it should be in textbooks. Good luck.

This for me is one of the strongest in the category. It is a clear and intentional photograph, and by that I mean it was plan and executed with a high degree of thought rather than merely being the product of happenstance. It's striking.
