Texas spiny lizard

An interesting species to photograph and although the chosen perch shows how well its camouflage works, it doesn't really show it at its best IMO. I think a better set up could take this prickly subject to the next level. Your selective focus shows excellent detail in the head and upper body.

You would like to see a more complex background?

As they are active during the day and agile tree climbers, I think a nice branch with a touch of green leaves (rather than all dead wood) would make a more interesting setting, and a lighter background - like distant foliage or ground colour would be more natural and set the lizard off better - just my 2 cents worth.
