Well we have the flowers and the groom...but where is the bride?

Photographed in Aruba, which has an incredible diversity of lizards.

Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Very cool! I love all the greens and reds, though you're a little late on posting since Christmas was last year!

Hi Darren,

Great colours - to me that's the dominant aspect of this image. I quite like the overall composition but if the image were mine I might try experimenting with shifting the lizard slighty more to the right - that up stretched neck and head are such a strong draw (largely because of the clean background you achieved) that to me the image ends up feeling just a tad too dead-centered. But this is definitely a personal preference issue - no right or wrong on this one and the image looks quite fine as posted!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Great image. I agree with what the others have said...wonderful pose from the lizard, great colors, and maybe take a bit off the right side.

Lizards are such fun subjects, they will pose for you. I love the at eye level perspective. Wonderful image Darren.

Quite unique a beautiful image. Looks like an Asian water dragon?
