Hi Vic

Excellent capture of this little desert dweller. I have never seen or heard of this species before so thanks for the introduction.

The composition is fabulous with good proportions and the iguana placed on the 1/3 vertical axis of the frame. The BG is well OOF and aids to enhance the subject. The colours are well balanced and very natural. The sharp details gives us a good look at the beautiful features of this reptile.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
