My World My Lens
My Turf
Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 11 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I saw this lizard on a Pawpaw tree that is right beside my kitchen window. So I ran quickly for my camera and zoomed in through my kitchen window, but it seems he saw me too! Oh yes he did, and he certainly made it clear that I was encroaching on his turf!

We have variations of these same lizards; I've been trying for a while to catch one so "puffed up" to no avail. Congrats on this capture, it's a great photo.

Awesome macro shot. This should have been challenging shot. Well focused with fairly good Depth of Field.

Great shot! You must have very clean windows, lol.
P.S.: I'll be on a trip 'til Sept. 24, with only very sporadic access to the net, will try to catch up with your work asap; our granby.aminus site will be fully functional though!

Wow - through the kitchen window huh - i'm glad you have clean windows, i know if i took a photo through mine, i know some smudge of some sort would be interfearing with my subject. GREAT Close-Up.

Wow, this is an absolutely astounding catch, Stunner!! Especially through a window!! Incredible!! Love the bright yellow and green hues, and that LOOK in his eye as he's doing his 'thing'!! Totally outstanding.

I am glad you all liked this photo. For those who were wondering how I got this pic so clean through a window, it was a louver window, not glass. So I just stuck the camera lens between the louvers to take the shot.

Of course I love this guy. Wonderful detail with such harsh back light. Grand shot, it does you proud.
