Thought I'd try to make a first post here :O
Saw this little guy roaming around in the park hehe

Cute little guy! It's almost like he turned just for you. I like the flowers in the background, and your dof is nice.
A few things to watch out for in the future.
1) your horizon is tilted.
2) that horizontal blade of grass in the foreground looks out of place.
3) the crop feels just a little tight on camera right to me.

Thanks for the tip! I will make note of that in the future!

There is a lot of background that only draws attention away from the subject. My eyes are immediately drawn to the purple flowers in the background and miss the subject entirely. Personally I would have cropped much tighter to eliminate all of that background clutter and let the subject stand alone.

As mentioned, the horizon is tilted.

While I realize that the way his head points isn't necessarily the way he is looking I would have put the lizard on the left side of the frame so that his head is pointed toward the center of the shot and not out of the frame.

Excellent focus and exposure, I just don't like the composition personally.

Thanks for pointing that out I would have taken another shot with the lizard on the left but he moved away lol :/

I can relate. Birds and wildlife never cooperate the way we'd like them to.

Exactly, that's why it's all about capturing the right moment quick DX
