This is an absolutely amazing and colorful abstract. The only thing I don't like about it are the 2 OOF leaves at the bottom foreground.

He's a very cool cool guy..I love the angle and compostion..
I think you took it in lesser light because of the slight graininess.. Scarbrd's right the light kind of puts it off..Probably because he's probably reflects everything off..Even then, an amazing catch..

The patterns and geometricity of nature are hard to escape. It's a world unto itself. I like this work especially.

A little harsh on the lighting, but these things are tough to light. Looks like you lit this with an on-camera flash. I really like my cord for the Canon that lets you move the light off camera. That way you could have the light in front of the lizard or try different lighting angles.

Just something to think about.

I like the reflections in the water. It's a beautiful place where you live. Very vibrant colors.

I agree with gaurawa, concerning the saturation here. It takes away some of the deatail in the blades of grass. What I do like about that issue, however, is that much like in your photo "my country", the over saturation adds a painting sort of feel to the image. So IMO it depends on what your aim is. I also have a feeling that this shot would make an amazing square crop, if some of the top were chopped off. You sure do seem to live in a beautiful country. I seriously hope to be able to take some photos in Australia some day as well!
