[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Not a chameleon as some may think - this is a male Agama lizard. I found this one resting on a rock for some time in the Serengetti NP, Tanzania, on a walk up to a viewpoint. Since he was such a well behaved model it meant I could keep moving in closer and closer to capture his colour and detail!

Hi Dave, great sharp shot of this creature, showing lots of detail on him and the shallow DOF blurring the BG nicely. Good diagonal composition. cheers, Steve

Hi David,
Great image clarity ... I think it is when we look at small creatures in closeup that we appreciate more of their beauty. Well captured and composed with very good image quality. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

You really did a great job here, the detail is amazing. Really unique colors. Kind of a creepy little critter :) Glad I'm HERE and it's THERE! lol TFS

Hey David,

Thats a great, colorful macro scene. The focus is perfect, which is probably the most important thing for this kinds of photo. Very well done.

See you around.
