Original - The Italian wall lizard or Ruin lizard (Podarcis sicula) is a species of lizard native to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Italy, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, and Switzerland, but has also been introduced to Spain, Turkey, and the United States. This male lizard was photographed in Tuscany.

Edit 1 - Crop

Reason

Very good angle on the whole body of an attractive lizard, tail intact. Resolution is high, lighting is nice, and it's an FP on de.wiki.

• Support I like the original more, as it gives a better sense of size, but will support either. SMasters (talk) 09:02, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks for supporting either. If the objective was to sacrifice detail to illustrate diminutive scale, our Ant article would have pictures like this. Wisely, they used a serious closeup of an ant for the introductory photo in the lede of the article. Greg L (talk) 01:05, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
