    Deje,
    Thank you for your comment. Wish you a nice weekend too :D

    Amila,
    Thanks for the comment.

    MD,
    Thanks for the comment. This is not my home garden MD. I snapped this while I was visiting the “Sinharaja rainforest”. If you check the labels on my post you can see where that I have taken each and every photo.

    How I took this pic? If you check my previous post I photographed it from the left side of this critter. Since the light and the clear background it looks more bright and colorful. But to get this angle I had to move in front of it. Since I move in front I get the trees behind as my background and it was too dark too. That’s how I ended up with this pitch black background.

    It will be great. You are always welcome to visit my home garden =D if you are coming down here just let me know. I will be your tour guide ;)

    PS: in my next post you will see how it looks from the bottom :D (not on the same tree but the one opposite to this tree where he’s resting now)

    Thanks for your comment Silent,

    I was like 5-6 feet away from it and it was staying like 1 feet above my eye level too (somewhere like 7 feet from the ground) . Yep, this is something very special :D

    What a wonderful capture. I like the combination of lights and shadows very much. Your home garden must be a wonderful place...

    Thanks for your lovely comment Frieda.

    I’m really sorry for confusing you all by chucking in “Home Garden” snaps with the “Sinharaja Rainforest” series. To make it more clear I’m going to add the location tag in every post hereon :D
