[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had to lie down on the ground and crawl on it to be able to get close to this lizard (id please). It had spotted me earlier, but just sat there still, without making much of a move, like a well manured model giving me nice photogenic poses,... most probably relying on its camouflage to escape the predator (i.e. me). When it finally understood that its camouflage is not mush of a use, it quickly ran inside a bush. I managed to get a few shots of it peeking through the bush, which I will upload later. Hope you like it.

hi Victor,
jolie réalisation d'un sujet assez peu esthétique. Les détails sont bons, le bg bien flou et uni.

Splendid and clean a shot with a great BG and eye contact, Victor.
I love the composition and i wonder why didnt you get more critiques for a wonderful frame such as this one.
Perhaps this cud get slightly sharper.But that doesnt in anyway reduce the beauty of the shot.
TFS & Cheers

Hello Victor,
What a brilliant capture of this beautiful Lizard from a fine low POV! Great focus, impressive sharpness and lovely colours. A very fine smooth background too. I like the way it's seated like a human! Very well done!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Very nice shot! Great colours, light and pov.

Hallo Victor
This is a genuine great capture of this lizard and a great close-up. I do not have much knowledge about reptiles like snakes, lizards and iguana's and because of that I prefer not to give my comments on these kinds of postings. I can however not let this beauty pass without me adding my little comment for what it is worth. A well composed image with good and clear details. I especially find the eyes very eye-catching in this image, and the texture of the skin is very captivating. The greenery emphasise the details of the lizzard even more. A splendid portrait indeed. Trek Nature is indeed a very motivating and most educational site. Not a day will pass that I don't see or learn something new. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards.
