Eastern Bearded Dragon

This is a juvenile Eastern Bearded Dragon Pogona barbata that I came across while searching a pile of old fence posts in a great little woodland remnant while doing a fauna survey near Goulburn, NSW, AU.

Nice, sharp face and great perspective. Love the open mouth. These fellows never open their mouths for me.

Robert Elliott

lovely shot Steve, you must have said “smile” before you took the shot
Steve Sass replied

yes, a few quite words to him before hand also did the trick! Thanks for the comment Robert
Moorey

ahhh that’s the secret and I thought you were dangling food just out of view.
Steve Sass replied

na, food and wild reptiles dont work, definately a good trick for some captive animals!
Moorey

Yeah, but photographing captive animals is no fun.
Steve Sass replied

definitely true, thanks Linda!

Excellent Image Steve. DOF and body language on this Dragon really livens up the image for me. Well done.

Cheers Mick.
