I have seen documentaries on this type of lizard and the way they make that frill stand out to make it look bigger and fiercer. Love how its colors match the branch. The colors and details are exceptional. Beautiful look and work here Debbie. #11434428

Your closeups always have superb clarity and dof, Debbie, and this fella's "portrait" is no exception! Your pov shows off that "deflated" frilled neck beautifully. Guess you didn't pose a threat to him, since his neck isn't spread out from here to next Sunday! #11436077

Natasha Pliss level-classic February 27, 2016

What a fantastic close-up, Debbie! The details are just remarkable. Gorgeous creature! #11439660
