Stacked Lizard.
Not sure  where to put this  Here or in macro
Done today with new 105mm Sigma macro
A two shot stack in CZM- hand held.
F18  800 ISO-on camera flash
Took a few goes but got one in the end.

You have to love that smug smile!  The twinkle in the eye is great too!  

I think you did a fine job with a fairly static body pose.  Working with F18 gave you great depth of field to keep all of the lizard in super detail.  Given that, I think I would want to trim some of the out of focus foreground, which would move the subject mass out of static center and would accentuate the wonderful crisp detail.  The hint of warm light on just the subject is a real strong positive, too.

Wow! handheld at F13 and still crisp enough to stack and get this fine sharp image.  Well done.
