This lizard looks, positively, prehistoric, all puffed up for battle.

HI Lucy,

I like the strong diagonal flow here - and I think you've split (or used) the frame very well. That engorged throat certainly is showy! I think the image might be a bit stronger without that OOF brown spot in the upper right corner - not a strong distraction but it did catch my eye a little.

Cheers...

Brad

I agree with you about the blurred bush...Here he is without the spot. :smile:

Nice graphic feel to this Lucy. I think that a little more dof to show the foreground wood in sharper focus might make the shot even stronger. As well, I might try this with just a little more space around him, just a thought. Nice photo!
