We have them here in Cocoa, FL, but most are brownish, although they do change. Never witnessed one go green, but saw an Anole almost solid black come out into the sun from his hideaway and, in about 5 minutes, turn to a fair tan. Your shot is very nice. The eye looks to be well-focused. Can you brighten it a tad? BTW, what equipment are you using here? Or did I miss that part? ….

I am using a Nikon D500 with a NIKKOR 200-500mm 5.6 lens. The reason I didn’t brighten it is because the background gets pretty blown out. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I agree about the background concern. You would not want to change exposure of the whole image. I was thinking of spot lightening using Lightroom's Develop Module, specifically the adjustment brush. It's been a long time, but I remember brightening an eye once. It can be done in Photoshop as well. I'll hasten to add that I really like your image as it is. Lightening the eye -- just a touch -- was just a thought, as that might make it more prominent, so viewers might notice the great focus..... regards, ~jessM [No reply necessary]

I really like the composition. The critter’s posture vs the linear line of the wall creates positive tension.
