Like the pose and the pano comp, I really wish it was a branch and not lumber. Exposure is good for the harsh light.

Is this guy a native or Cuban? In FL the natives are green but can turn brown I think, the invasive Cuban, or brown cannot turn green.

I would run selectively sharpen the face and eye for more inpact.

I'm advised the anole lizard is native. I've watched them go from green to brown and back, but after one emerges from hibernation I think its abilityto change hue is retarded for a while - maybe a few days. Will try selective sharpening. Thanks.

You are right Joel I am told if they go green to dark they are a native.

I like photographing these guys too.

Lovely composition and pose!
A bit more USM would improve this when done selectively.
Also a bit of noise reduction on the BG might improve this photograph.

Hey Joel, I also like the pano look and comp. Nice lighting and sharp details through out. Well done.
