Eyeballed

An inner silence?

I have been trying to take more portraits but due to a lack of willing subjects, I find myself spending more time in my garden harassing its inhabitants and of course poor Liz. Being on a portraiture theme, I tried to frame the lizard in a humanesque profile and it amicably cooperated by gazing down the lens. This common garden lizard had a certain regal air about it, from the angle of its head to its sidewards glance; a blue blooded commoner.

"The true portrait therefore is one in which the subject represented is not caught in any action, and does not even show any expression that might detract from the person in themselves."
~Henri Cartier-Bresson
