Cleo, this picture is so much fun. I really enjoy when animals are given roles that traditionally are reserved for humans. The colors and the proportions of scenery to character is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this for my poetry!

Comment from Flight_of_Raven
Admittedly, this photo is a little difficult to figure out, although the concept is very imaginative and creative. Kudos for that. The lizard part of the photo is my favorite, as it is most in focus and clear, and really provides the only anchoring point for the eye (which is fine). The rest of the image is a little difficult to get settled in, though. I understand that the liquify effect may have been used to show that this scene is not "reality," but I think it was a little overdone and ends up looking a bit distracting. The flowers in the lower right corner are a little too blurry for my tastes. The colors in this frame are great, though, and they easily pull the eyes into the photo.
Interesting and creative work, and best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for your throuough review and the wishes. I admit the picture isn't easy to understand without the story it was made of. The story isn't easy to understand in the print format used for the post since all the Quotation Marks are missing. Just to make it easier for you: Did you ever was in a hospital under sedation or/and painkillers? The sort what exchanged reality? That's the situation here. That is why the image is fuzzy and blown out on the edges. It is as if you wake up in the dentists chair with the light bending in your eyes. Dream and reality mix up. Does it help to understand the situation?

A cute little story. I like the different textures and elements to this piece. The swirled effects make a very cute picture. The colors are great and the lizard with a black hat is so cute and swave. Great job!

This is a cute picture with a story that it illustrates. You have done a lovely job with both. The picture is well composed, with pleasant, harmonious colors, and interesting activity.

Thank you so much for your review and for loving my confusing comments.
Comment from sirthomas1960
Oh dear, not quite sure what to say about this one...coz I'm still confused...lol :)
But I do like the colour and light in this, and the happy mood they create...and your lizard seems to be enjoying the party too!
Good balance to the composition, and the swirling edges do give a sense of being in a dream.
Well done...but I think I might need a holiday on a tropical island too! :)

Thank you so much for your kind review. It is the Story what is confusing. The Picture was made as illustration to the story. It's very confusing even for me because I forgot that we can't use Quotation Marks and other grammar signs in or comments. They just end up as a bunch of Question Marks. So much it is based on a writing promt at FanStory. The line: The Lizard wore a Black Hat was part of the competition call. The story is a hospital experience of two persons. Since it is impossible quotation marks or other grammar sign's to write it is impossible to distinguish the talk of the nurse and the thoughts of the patient just waking up, confusing a nice dream and hard reality. I tried to take all sign out after I realised my mistake, but that doesn't work either. Do you think I just should take the whole story away? But than, the picture dosn't make sense it all.
