Not as intriguing as my recent dragonfly or as cute as my Red-necked Wallaby...

Comments on this shot?

Thanks,
Simon.

Very nice pic - but it could be a lady :roll:

You're absolutely right Chris. In fact there's a distinct Mother-in-Law look about her now that you mention it. :wink:

That looks like pigment loss on the skin - the Michael Jackson of the lizard world.

Thanks John.
He/she is a regular in the Japanese Garden at the Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens. They're all over the place but I've always found big ones here.

i wonder how this would have looked if u zoomed in a bit more to make it a touch more abstract... a less closed composition...?

Thanks Dee - I did try a few close-up/crop variations but, too be honest, it just kept getting uglier!!

There are heaps of them there and you're pretty well guaranteed a big one or two but just about any creek up here will have them around somewhere.

He was over a metre long Andrew. Wouldn't want to share a sleeping bag with him.

Reminds me of whats-his-name....the big lizard that terrorizes Tokyo, Godzilla (strike me pink, me memory's goin'...), yep, that's it, Godzilla. Very different lizard shot and well done, Max

I'd love to Matt but my wife wouldn't let me hang it in the house! She's a bit PHOBIC when it comes to reptiles.
