X Vario (ISO 200, 1/80, f6.4). I have to admit I was happy with this outcome.

Ece,

this is an amazing picture with high IQ. The mentioned "funky" bokeh is adding to the picture because it is showing how camouflage works perfecly here. The lizard skin is so rich in detail and if you have discovered how its eye is being focussed on you one get squite ecited.

Paul, Dee, K.-H., Iduna, Hank, Tom, and Robert,

 

Thank you for taking a look at this fella and for your generous comments.

 

I must say, this one stopped me on my tracks and made me second guess my decision to

return this camera...

 

Paul, I give this guy a few flies every now and then, he follows me around, no need for a leash ;)

 

K.-H., the bokeh is more than funky. I guess the lens produces this kind of effect when the background has this kind of texture and also the distance to subject is relatively close. These are twigs and leaves (mostly pine needles) covering the ground. I used to have a CV 35 that used to produce busy bokeh like this.

 

As Iduna says, in this case I liked it because it looks like a natural extension of the lizard (or the other way around?).

 

Hank, this is around the corner from where I live, on the old Irvine Ranch lands (Bonita Camp) which is part of the UC campus now. Despite all these years of dense development, wildlife still hangs on (including the coyotes though in much smaller numbers now).

 

I am glad you liked this guy. The detail surprised me too.

 

Ece
