Nice sighting. Good eye contact. The walking pose with the rear leg raised looks nice. Wish you had got the tail in full. Thanks for sharing.

Since you clicked this from a vehicle, this looks like a top view. It is tough to get the eye level perspective of these guys when ite is close to the vehicle on a national park. I agree that including the long tail would have been better. This species doesn't move fast, except for fighting and fleeing from a predator. So clicking with a lower shutter speed would have been ok. That would have allowed you to use a lower ISO as well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
