I used a John Lovett technique to soften the edges of this too-busy painting (using white gouache and a hake brush).
I also darkened the center of interest and added a little more pizzaz to the redder of the lizards. And a little yellow green to the larger lizard to make him stand out a bit more.
This original painting was "okay" but awfully busy and with no center of interest to draw the eye to.

I like this one a lot, and I think your "improvements" were significant!
