A Common Lizard
Richard Hollins from London, United Kingdom
Nice shot. I like the way he's almost sneaking in at the bottom of the frame, which captures the personality of these animals perfectly.

@Earnest: Cold early morning job, after the sun is up there's no chance.

Wow, really nice job. It's not easy to get them to stand still long enough for a portrait.

Totally great, when my friends find a lizard or a small creature they start to make photos, but I rarely see something like this coming out, the background and frame, place of the camera and the cut is outstanding.

I've never seen that kind of lizard. Fantastic shot! They're not easy to photograph.

@Bookfool: This shot is only possible in the coolness of the early morning, before the lizard has warmed up enough. Once the sun warms their backs, they are impossible to get near.
