Hi Barry: Very nice detail of the eyes and face. I like the reflection in the eyes in the larger photo. A tighter crop around the head may draw the attention to the eye even more.

The critter's colours are pretty bizarre; I love them! I also love the details of the scales, the attentive look of the lizard and the reflection in they eye. Fantastic!
