Seeing big pix' lizard reminded me that I took one a while ago.
I was out bushwalking and came upon this water dragon sunning himself.
I had the 300mm kit lens on and was able to crawl along a creek bed to get below him. I kept shooting as I got closer and the posted shot is the last one I took before I tried to move the grass out of the way. At that stage he had enough of me and took off. I was going to clone the grass out of the right hand side, but this is exactly as shot.

Seems like you went to a lot of work to get the shot, which is pretty cool, IMO. It's a little dark on my monitor, FWIW. I wouldn't fuss with cloning out the grass.

looks as if he is also having breakfast........

cheers

actually the thing near his mouth is like a whisker, they all seem to have those.
also the red stuff on his chest is apparently on males only, and then only during breeding season.
The first one of these I ever saw, I thought he was injured.

lizards are interesting subjects - remove the grass - it is a distraction unless the grass was dense - well done
