This is not a real macro picture, instead is a close up.

Picture taken with the following equipment:

Canon 30D
Canon 35-350@350
ISO 320
f/5.6
1/100
Hand held
Pop-up flash
AV

This is a Green tree anole (Norops biporcatus)

Even though it looks like the picture was taken on a set up, actually it was taken in the wild.:)
Pay attention to the dewlap (on his throat) he is inflating it to let me know he does not like me. They also do it to attract females and to repel possible predators.

Juan, I love that this was taken in the wild and you got a neat angle for the shot. Nice details and colors!

I see these guys on BPN and am glad I live where I live!

You got great clarity and detail on this. I do wish the back half of the limb and his belly had the same degree of clarity but, then again, it does draw more attention to his face this way.
