Thanks for posting in the forum. I really enjoy reptiles. I like the diagonal here in the composition. Nice up close detail. The light looks like it was high and challenging and you did well with the exposure. Maybe a little fill flash for a catch light?? Thanks again for contributing..

How is it that Lizards always manage to adopt such a disdainful look!!

I agree with Dennis the diagonal is excellent for this subject and a light in the eye would really lift the shot.

You handled the harsh light well and maintained good detail in the body markings, setting the subject off well against the dark BG shadows.

Great shot with the head position of the lizard--I also love reptiles. One of my friends suggested I shoot more reptiles and my response was other than Fence Lizards in southern California that they are hard to find.
