I shall be spending much of this spring and summer carrying out reptile surveys in southern England, and my next job after posting this picture is to head down to the site near Dover where it was taken, and lay refugia for when work starts in 2-3 weeks time.

Eye contact with this individual was pretty good, the common lizards at this site allow very close contact, and if you look closely you can see the photographer reflected in her eye.

Very nice detailed clear image.

Looks like your at a shallow DOF, which has worked well :cool:

Nice bright image, good eye contact like you say. Nice & sharp too.

Lovely, great depth of field control. A slightly less central composition might add to an already good image. Great details and textures.
