It's the Cheshire lizard!

Wow, what an awesome photo.

It looks cute, whatever it is

nope nope nope... I can deal with snakes, & spiders.... but toads... nope. Too many horror memories of watching the local kids play "toad cricket" or "toad hockey" as a kid.... nope.....

Looks like it's made from rainbow iridescent cellophane. Amazing!

I would love to have a print of this....

What a gorgeous blue, wonder what the lizard is hiding in.

My favourite. Just magical.

Looks like dancing fungus!

All I can see when I look at that plant is eyes. That dragonfly is riding on someone's head.

They're so pretty!!!!

Looks like... speakers! ♡ ♬

Forgive me is this a squid perhaps or a cuttle fish?! HELP PLEASE! SORRY! BUT I DO think this a neat shot though!

What am I missing here, how is this a winner?

Were they filming Dirty Dancing?

This is nice!

This is cool!

Absolutely beautiful.

Colorful!

A bullet in water? I'm not sure what I'm seeing, although it is aesthetically pleasing

Wow WTF!!!

Id like to see what this is a shot of! We have no frame of reference here for perspective!

THIS is pretty!

This reminds me of the Alcon Blue butterfly AKA "Cuckoo" butterfly that fools ants into caring for their young because their larvae smell like ant larvae! The ant finds it on the ground and thinks its an ant beebee and takes it back to the nest and feeds it and takes care of it until it has become a butterfly, crawls out of its encasement and flies away!

For a minute i thought the leaves were snakes ready to eat it. Then I looked again.

I actually love this. Ot's really cool and for some reason thought provoking....

Just like out of a fairytale.

This needs more description... looks like a watercolor painting

Took me a minute to figure out what was happening at the forefront.

my absolute favorite!!!!
