Nice one Jerry! Great colours and detail. The rock sets the Lizard off well and the BG tones complement the Lizard to perfection! 8) :D

Cool shot, great colours.

His tail seems to end rather abruptly !?!?

The colors and skin textures are great. :D Nice comp and I like your crop. The tail trauma is interesting- clearly he's had a bit of troubles in his life..

Spectacular looking lizard. Nice you even got a catchlight in its eye, which probably shows even better at a higher resolution. Did you use some fill flash? Where in Costa Rica did you see this?

Milo, the catch light was not added and no fill flash was used. This photo was taken on the Pacific slope between San Jose and Panama (near Sevegre).
