What a cool looking lizard. Great shot!

Is that his "cooling fin", or is he cruising for a lady lizard?

[Bobobird]

Great shot.

[FrankMi]

Wow, what beautiful colors, Jitenda! I don't know Mike. Perhaps it is a defensive posture used to frighten nosey photographers?

You could very well be right Frank, as he certainly does appear to have a bit of an
attitude...my kinda lizard..

[jjbacoomba]

Little did we know that this isnt his first time on camera. He is striking a pose! Very cool shot!

[drjskatre]

thanks everybody..
this lizard displays the fan during breeding period , but it's erect posture seems to be on purpose to scare the 'nosy photographer' ( that's me ) away...

Oh Wow ! I saw the title and wondered what on Earth I was about to see - It's a magnificent shot and leaves nothing to the imagination-a very proud lizard too lol.. - Nature can be truly stunning.

Amazing focus, detail, and color. Great shot.

[Nihia]

Great shot Jitendra. He's beautiful. You caught him at a great angle to show off his posture &, of course, attitude. Do they bite?

[drjskatre]
