Thank you.

I especially love the warm desert colors in the backgrounds, which I feel augment the subjects :)

Lovely reptiles.  I want to visit this place.  It will happen someday.  So Cal is a few hours from Houston on a 737.

John:

I like them all, but particularly the color harmony between the lizard and the background in #1, and the barren landscape in #2.

Cheers
