Border Anole
Anolis limifrons

This plain colored anole was enjoying the warm morning light on a raggedy green leaf on which it was perched. She is pregnant as you can see the eggs through the skin on it sides.

I like the jungle, not only is there a wide diversity of animals, but the challenge of finding them is fun. Sometimes just sitting back and listening to the sounds sometimes gives the animal away, but usually it is movement that gets your attention first.

Hi Paul!
Very interesting documentary picture. The lizard female in pregnat is not easy to "catch" I suppose. Anyway, please let know what is the size of this species?
POV, DOF, contrast and light are as alsways very good!
Best withes,
Radomir

Hi Paul

What a magnificent capture!
Not only did you manage to catch this cute little anole in a very nice pose, but you also show the fact that she is pregnant excellently! Terrific POV for this one and exceptional level of details on its body.
Also that pose of hers gave you great clearance in the head region, isolating it very well from the blurry BG.
The focus is spot-on, just like the exposure, and the shallow DOF works excellent in concentrating all the attention only on the lizard.
The charming and well saturated colors and tones complete this brilliant diagonal composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Paul,

Wow! What a very cute Anolis!!! This image is just lovely to say the least! You did a remarkable composition but maybe with a smaller aperture the whole tail would have been in focus... The bg is awesome and I like very much your note noticing us of the presence of eggs...

Graet picture and TFS,

Hi Paul,
amphibians are my favorite and you gave us already real nice pictures of them. But also reptiles are great animals. To be honest, I'd never heard of the border anole. But since the day that I'll go the central america for herpetofauna is getting closer, I'm already alerted for the species.
Fine color combination and composition.
Jacob
