Lovely lighting and detail Robert, might suggest a minor trim off foreground.

Agree that it could do with a bit of the bottom, but otherwise a nice shot with lovely light and plenty of detail

Nice sharp head but too much mush in the foreground.

Yes second image does it for me. Excellent. Not seen one of these, live, for at least fifty years. The last time was in Swallowfield ,Berkshire, whilst visiting relatives. The lizards used to hide in the grass up against stone or brick walls. Memories.
