The composition is not very good, you will need to get rid of the cut off back legs. Your colour balance is bad. As I do not have a correct visual clue on the lizard, I know that trees do not have this yellow/orange colour.

I'm at a disadvantage not knowing the original scene, but the color balance is off and it's over-saturated. The highlights and shadows need fixing, and I'd remove the out-of-focus leaves.

I think it's bc of the waves on the background, that's called banding, which happens when there are not enough color tones to create a smooth gradient or uniform color.
Did you shoot this raw? What did you use to edited the photo?
I don't personally mind the colors, but they don't seem natural.
We do not normaly comment on assets that were not submitted. But still, since you asked, I will respond. I give your photo in this form, a "3".
Here is why: -- the composition is not good. It is a vertical image and you have it in a horizontal frame. If left horizontal, the subject sould be on the left third of the frame, leaving copy space on the right side. Follow the "Rule of Thirds". You cut off the hind legs.
-- the green spots on the trunk need to be removed and the trunk needs exposure adjustment.
