Nomination in Exo Terra Award

Burton's legless lizard

This photo was nominated in Nactus Award 2012, an international reptile and amphibian photography competition, in the reptile behavior category. The Nactus Award is hosted annually by Exo Terra, a leading marketer in reptile products for the natural terrarium. 

I am very happy even though I did not win not only because I am the only nominee from Indonesia and even Asia, but also because I am excited to be recognized in the field that I am very passionate in, which is animal and reptile photography. The list of winners and other nominees can be seen here.
