Welcome back Gaurav

. What I particularly like about this image are the natural muted colors. As always the choice of aperture is a trade-off between subject sharpness and BG detail; I love your smooth BG here, but do wish the lizards front leg was in sharper focus. Perhaps stopping down a bit would have achieved that without sacrificing the BG too much. Further I think this would have come out even better with a slight head tilt up and a catchlight in the eye, but that of course was beyond your control.
