An eye for an eye

Dunno what this is... What am 'eye' ? Thought it was a bearded dragon, but not sure, do you know? See full picture tomorrow.
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Looks like a croc to me - and I would have been far away and used my 70-300mm lens for this shot!

The eye is shaped just like a human eye, but I think either a croc or an alligator. Incredible detail. There is beauty to behold in everything and the symmetry, textures and colors in this are just awesome. Well taken.
