Default Lizard sunbathing

While out shooting today I came across a lizard sunbathing. I was using an 18-105mm lens and tried to get closer but spooked him off.
How can I make this shot more dramatic?
Thanks in advance.



Exposure: 1/250s
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Focal Length: 105mm
Flash: no

First thing is to crop using rule of thirds. You could use this pix as a "Where's Waldo" sort of puzzle. Still, a good crop is in order.

Second adjust the exposure. I hope that you shot in RAW?

Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking the same thing about "Where's Waldo". LOL
I am new to photography and have never shot in RAW...I guess I'll start now.
RE: adjusting exposure...adjust how or in what way?
Thanks.
