Description
This large Texas Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus olivaceus) was confident it could not be seen, allowing me to get within about a foot of it for this shot. It was in a very shaded locaction under a bush, forcing me to use a wide aperture and narrow DOF. The resulting shot makes the eye pop as the "focal" point. Sometimes you get lucky.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I am an opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer to capture the spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring, and rarely photograph staged subjects other than portraits. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I have only been posting them for others to see since about September 2012.
