Lucked Into This Shot
I was down at the Clayton County Nature Center yesterday and I had been chasing this guy down that fence railing for several feet trying to get a good shot. Finally he stopped for a few seconds, puffed his neck up and this is what I got. For you photographers, 55-300 lens at 300mm, f/5.8, 1/2000sec, ISO 400. This was under some trees and the wide open lens accounts for the tail being out of focus.

I'm reminded of a line from Crocodile Dundee regarding the taste of something. Printing the quote here might get me a 3 day vacation.

If that's the gecko from the Geico ads, I wish you'd have stomped it, I'm so tired of that faux British accented little green dude, well, you get the idea.
Very nice photography tho, thanks for sharing...

Good pictures this one needed a J frame. I don't know how long they had been at it but I watched about 15 minutes.
They just flopped around occasionaly. They both seemed to be in good shape after it was over except for the skinned up head.
