Was going back into the house after a short shooting session in our garden when I spotted this little guy cavorting on one of our callas. I was glad he chose one of the best flowers to hang out on and provided many poses. Will share some others later in the week. All comments welcome.>=))>

Fabulous. Thought it was a frog on thumb but like this better. The tail seems to follow the curves of the petal and love that footprint as well. Not sure if a little dogde on the head in front and behind the eyes might bring a little more detail to that part. Many thumbs up. :toast:

Green supposedly is a calming color so I guess this image gets its peaceful feeling from that. A nice quiet lizard hanging out in the flower. Nicely done.
