Hello Ike,
When I travelled through West Africa I saw lots of very beautiful Agama lizards, actually even more colourful than this one, but I never managed to take a photo of this quality. It's very sharp and well exposed and gives us a perfect look at this nice (but invasive) species.
Best regards,
Gert

Lep guster, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.

Hi Ike,

You got a good eye contact with the lizard. The point of view is showing the details of the Agama lizard. The light is giving nice tints to the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
An excellent photo of this lizard. The photo is very sharp and clear, which allows us to see the details of its skin and the different colours, ranging from brown to orange, very well.

Hi Ike what lovely colours this lizard has. They move so quickly you were lucky to get such a good shot. He's certainly got his beady eye on you!

Hello Ike, All reptiles fascinate me - crocodiles, lizards, and snakes, I am happy to observe them. Excellent view of this agama, it is sharp and clear.
10 to 20 cm, it is small. I hope to see the bigger lizards on my next trip.
Best regards MAlgo

Hi Ike,
I don't recall seeing this one. It looks very sweet. The name invasive suggests some sort of evil attitude but I suppose it is rather towards insects or small animals rather than people :)
Very good light and resulting colors and level of contrast,
M

Hello Ike,
Is this lizard invading by natural means or through human intervention? Nice close up of this peculiar creature.
