[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Water Dragons can be found all over Brisbane. Some of them are fairly tame and are very approachable. They are an awesome lizard. This one was almost 2 feet long. I took the shot with a macro lens (I was looking for bugs). I think the macro really helped with the DOF and really bringing out the fine detail of the dragons facial scales.
