Brown Anole

I grew up catching and 'taming' these guys at this very house. Some habits are too ingrained to ever really forget - he was in my hand before I even thought about catching him. The ninjababy was excited about being able to pet a 'wizard'. xD

Did you know?
This species is highly invasive. In its introduced range (Florida and southern Georgia), it reaches exceptionally high population densities, is capable of expanding its range very quickly, and both out-competes and consumes many species of native lizards such as the green anole.

sweet job

I really love the small depth of field, and the simplicity of it! The colors are so fitting, and the detail of the lizard's head is very interesting.

Thank you!
It was definitely a challenge getting just their head in focus for this shot. xD

I love the selective focus in this shot, and how you were able to include its reflection. Also the zigzag flow of light and dark through the picture is very appealing and the sine curve of brown seems to mirror the lizard's nose shape. I might have tried to get a shot with deeper depth of field so that both the lizard's head and its reflection's head were both in focus, and perhaps positioned at the horizontal thirds of the frame; however, this is an excellent close-up and you should be proud of capturing it.
