Guardian of the Garden: Eastern Water Dragon, Tinana

A high-contrast, black and white portrait of an Eastern Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii) captured in the lush environment of Tinana, Queensland. This image utilizes a signature 'Quiet Sentinels' editing style to emphasize the prehistoric textures of the reptile's scales and the sharp, intelligent gaze of the subject. Part of a curated collection by a photographer with over 60 years of experience behind the lens.
