My porch lizard

[IShootPeople]

This is my porch lizard, Frankie. He's an Eastern Fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) who has moved in under my screened porch. Most evenings, he is out sunning himself on the stack of pavers beside my patio. He's getting used to me, which allowed me to get some shots of him this evening.

I cloned out a blade of grass in the first photo, but couldn't find a way to successfully clone out the one in the second, since it covers his foot. Is that too distracting? I like the shot otherwise.

C&C welcome!

Hello Frankie

It is pretty distracting. Unfortunately, the position makes it look as if it's tethered to his foot. Any other position wouldn't have been so problematic.

The good thing though is that if Frankie sticks around in his new home for a while, you should get plenty more opportunities to have him pose for you.
