Darevskia valentini (Valentin’s Rock Lizard) [in Turk. Valentin Kaya Kertenkelesi] (A Female Portrait) #2

Dear Friends, thanks for all kind critiques/comments on my previous posting.

Yesterday I uploaded two shots (one in WS) of a female Valentin’s Rock Lizard to show her colour-pattern & escaping behaviour, presenting the detailed info on the species.

Here's a female portrait shot to show head and partly fore-body scalation details.

As always I say, hoping that you like this shot!

Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Bayram,
What a stunning shot of this female, so many details neatly captured with good sharpness and lighting.It';s like small beads stuck up on its body and good eye contact.
Very well done.

Hi Bayram, again

here you really can count the ocular scales. But I won't do it , I'm so impressed by the stare of the lizard. Well executed shot, Bayram, very expressive.
My best regards
