The common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) is a species of lizard with a large distribution in Europe and well-established introduced populations in North America, where it is also called the European wall lizard. It can grow to about 20 cm in total length.
The natural range spans mainland Europe, including central Spain, southern Belgium, and the Netherlands. It occurs as introduced populations in southern Britain, and also in North America.
The common wall lizard prefers rocky environments, including urban settings where it can scurry between rock, rubble, debris and buildings.

Hi Iulian,

Superb capture of this good looking lizard. The pose on the rocks and the lighting on the face is wonderful. Excellent details of the face and skin. Beautiful colors, shades and textures. I love the eye and the foot!

Hello Iulian,

Beautiful composition. Good POV, DOF and sharpness. I like very much the colours with the beautiful blue of the water in the background and the pink of the rock.
Cheers,
Mariki

very nice shot Iulian, nice low pov and well focused image.
I like the lizard's not looking at the camera, gives a more natural image.

Bravo Iulian, ai facut o poza foarte bine detaliata. Ai incecat un macro numai cu capul soparlei? Ar fi interesant.
Succes, Dan.
