Green crested lizards are a species of agamid lizard and are native to Southeast Asia. I came across this one on a hike in Sumatra, Indonesia. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/5 at 1/80th of a second.
It says on Wikipedia that it’s tail can account for 75% of it’s body length. Imagine if your butt accounted for 75% of your body length. Like if you were 6′ and your butt was 4’6″ or something. I don’t see how you’d survive in the wild, honestly.
Oooooh, I do like this photo. The green colors are captivating & you have centered your green crested lizard beautifully within the dreamy green bokeh of foliage. In fact, the creamy bokeh is in direct contrast to the lizard’s well-defined profile.

It’s a wonder you spotted him with all that green going on.
I love finding tone on tone in nature. But yes, easy to miss.

Nature always finds a way Louis.

Thanks Sue. Monochromatic color and bokeh blur framing — two of my favorite things.
Can’t say it any better than Sue did! Lovely!
