This monitor lizard was a captivating subject as I got up close to capture its powerful gaze. In the wilds of Bentota, Sri Lanka, reptiles like these are masters of their domain, moving with quiet grace through their environments.
This shot highlights the sharp focus and the intricate textures of the lizard’s eye — a reminder of how every detail in nature can tell an untold story.
Taking this photo gave me a deeper appreciation for the subtleties of reptilian beauty.
