 This is Anoles ventrimaculatus which are endemic to a small range in Colombia that I happen to live in. They are considered "near threatened" on the the Red List

Nice treat to see such an endangered animal and having them living locally.
For me the too in-focus back ground leads the eye away from the subject and around the frame in a kind of restless fashion, but i do appreciate that just finding one of these rare creatures is enough excitement on its own :-)

Oh I agree completely that he blends in too much with the background and I wish I'd had more time to fiddle with settings but he wasn't up for that. I was glad at least to get him in focus.

I know, lost count of the times i´ve spent trying to get a favorable
angle and dof then look up and the subject has vanished into the underground lol
