 He's not blurry it's just his nature to blend into the background.

If only I had something to support the camera against. Unfortunately he wasn't very helpful and bolted after 5 seconds.

Adjusted Curves - slightly darker/ more contrast
Dodged shadows a bit
Sharpened his edge a bit
No crop for a change

Ah yes...I knew he was an anole...but that didn't have quite the alliteration I was looking for. And I do admit it was taken a foot or two outside of "true" macro range, but those guys are like Van Damme and don't seem to like it when you get the camera right up in their face

This is not a gecko - it's an anolis lizard. Not a bad shot but you are too far away from your subject to be 'involved' in the shot and we are missing the interesting detail in the lizard's skin. The bark is noce though!
