At night I spotted this lizard perched on a grass blade. At first its eyes were opened, then after a while it closed its eyes. Flash caused it to open its eyes again....when I packed, it closed its eyes to go to sleep.

Opens a window on the life of the creature and tells a story - love it.

This is a super cool image! I love the little water droplet as well. I love the clean sharpness & simplicity of the composition!

Thanks Carol and Eirini for the kind comments.:)

Part of the fun of macro is composing the pic
and when I composed it this way and took the shot,
the result was quite cute. Even when I was just staring
at the tiny LCD in the dark, I was quite pleased. Thanks again.
Regards,
Darren
