• That is called camouflage... Yann (talk) 19:35, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Right, but it doesn't help this picture, since the prevailing foreground color is gray. Good QI for sure, but not an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:47, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment You are right, for first I planned the photo with a pink bottom and a yellow background, especially for the nomination as FP, so that the lizard stands well out from the background ;-) --Llez (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Actually the lizard camouflage is probably the most interesting here: it has yellow spots to match the lichen on the rock. The moult process can also be seen. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment Perfect for VI, and most of my lizard shots are like this, but FP needs something that displays the reptile better: blurred background, natural habitat, mouth open, head up, tongue showing, eating etc. Charles (talk) 08:04, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Info What do you mean by "needs...natural habitat"? The photo was taken exacly here in its natural habitat! If you have a close look on the linked picture you will see a lizard on the wall (with the same background as above) --Llez (talk) 08:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

• I don't consider a man-made wall as natural habitat. Charles (talk) 14:14, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

PS: Thanks Yann for the nomination --Llez (talk) 08:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, but I'm afraid the background is too busy and intrusive, and the animal looks as if it's heading off out of the image. MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:13, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per clashing background noted by others. Daniel Case (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination OK, I will find a dancing lizard in a fluo dress. Yann (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

• Here is one for you ;-) ----Cart (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
