Anole

I spotted this anole trying to be inconspicuous (and catch a little sun) while visiting the Dallas Arboretum


180mm, f/16, 1/200 second, flash

 

Excellent and interesting composition. Very well done!

yes, a dark chain is the perfect hiding spot for a brightly colored lizard. guessing darwinism is at work here. nice details, congrats on not scaring him off. they usually wait until i put the camera up to run away.

 

Thank you Tony and Beth for your comments. Beth, you are right about the hiding spot; this critter had a shortened tail indicating that its concealing skills were a bit lacking.

 

That is a good one!

 

Superbly done, John and what a wonderful little critter.

 

Lovely image.

 

Thank you Dave, Pete, and Ivar for your comments.
