This shot demonstrates how razor sharp the 50mm 1.4 is- there is an area on his nose which appear soft, it is the refraction of light on the glass- couldnt be helped this was one of 3 shots in between the crowd, the 3rd and final shot i was lucky he opened his eye wide, and then i was gone. He was a good model- lol

Monitor lizards are generally large reptiles, although some can be as small as 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length. They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semiaquatic monitors are also known. Almost all monitor lizards are carnivorous, although Varanus bitatawa, Varanus mabitang and Varanus olivaceus are also known to eat fruit.[1][2] They are oviparous, laying from seven to 37 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump.[3]
