I was photographying a small flower then this very little lizard (sorry, don't know the ID) popped up.

Nikon D200, Nikon 105mm macro plus 32mm extension, cropped.

Thanks for your views.

Really cool use of DOF Ganesh. It puts such an intense focus on the eye. The foot reaching out is a good accent. Nice job. :smile:

It's been said - but I had to offer my kudos to this image as well Ganesh. You've been on a roll my friend and posting some real nice work. And it's great to see things from your beautiful country.
