Interrupted this lizard mating

[Evald]

I heard a commotion at the rear of the patio and saw two lizards mating. Unfortunately for this little guy I got too close and scared off his girlfriend. What does everyone think of the composition? This picture is one of my favorites of my whole trip. I like how he is standing in the middle of a paver stone and the lines kind of converge on him. I also think he has an angry look on his face (I know I would if I was in his shoes). But enough of what I think, I am interested to hear what you have to say. Thanks.

My opinion, whatever it's worth, is that on the right, crop it to where that first layer of brick has that line.

But other than that, I think it's a good picture.

I agree, a photo to be proud of! I like how you got down to the lizard's eye level - most people would take the shot looking down on it - and so give it the emotion that you feel. I also like the position of the lizard in your shot with good "looking room". The depth of field is superb with enough detail on the tail and back foot to compliment the sharp focus on the face. I wish I had taken it!

I can't decide if it should be cropped more or not. I think the depth of field is right on. Great picture!
