When this juvenile Emerald Basilisk lizard (Basiliscus plumifrons) was spotted, I was set up to photograph rainforest birds so I used my longest "macro" lens at a distance of 4.6 m. 1D IV, 500 mm f/4 + 1.4X, 1/20, f/6.3, ISO 800, 580EX at -1 2/3 + better beamer for fill (at this distance the better beamer wasn't really necessary), tripod, mirror lock, 2-sec shutter delay, IS turned off. Cropped from a horizontal original. I removed the flash-generated catchlight, cleaned up some distractions in the background, and ran NR on the background. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
