Cute. Sorry it has lost its tail as the regrown one isn’t as lovely. Great angle to show off the symmetry. Looks like a fleet, curious critter. Cropping looks ok, but I don’t know what you had to work with.

I’d be tempted to brighten it up slightly and reduce cyan saturation. BG and textures of the perch work well with the subject…Jim

These are really cool little critters Dave. I like the look at the regrown tail. It has some very interesting patterns in it. I would lighten it up a bit. We found a pile of these working the bromeliads at the Dole Plantation on Oahu last week. Their colors are really bright in the direct sunlight.
