Goodness! Seems an entire club of photographers commented on this one. The laiman says: That lizard wears its frock of camouflage serenely, unperturbed by the adoring human eyes.

Composition is artful and informative. Artist has captured texture (lizards skin). Enjoy that natures vivid colors and lizards habitat are also communicated.
