Hello

I saw this lizard on the car window (the white patch on the BG). I as usual went with my camera to take a shot and the fella was just watching me from the side of his eye ball and not even an inch moving. The unfortunate part of was that the car was parked in such a way I had no way to get inside the area to shoot but whatever I can capture it is presented here.

Thanks for visiting.

Hi Ganesh,

What an opportunity and you could not have taken better advantage of it. This lizard close-up is superb. I have never seen better details and colors than you have captured on this one. That eye is magnificent.

Hello Narayanan,
It's a great shot my friend.
The fact is I just don't have the darn time lately to do this as I would like to. So I will not post for awhile..
Time for a vacation :)

Great Close-up Gannu. Excellent focus on the eye. Shallow depth at F8 indicates that you were really close. Details around the eye and the ear are fantastic.

Hallo Ganesan
Due to the fact that I have been ill, I just could not give my comments to some of the lovely images that appeared and past me by on the gallery. Now I have such a lot of catching up to do so please pardon me for only saying……………………
Splendid image. It is indeed a feast to the eye and it did not go unnoticed. You have captured this reptile with great detail and clarity. I just love the marble round eye with the golden lining. It is really a great close-up and portrait. Your concern about the state of my health is also much appreciated and kind of you to enquire about it.
Best regards
Anna
