[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I came across this land iguana sitting a top a rock on the edge of a cliff. I really liked the spikey outline of his body, so I exposed for the sun reflecting off the water in the background and focused on his head. Then to ensure that his face would be completely black I opened up 2 stops.

Cheers.

This is a classic galapagos shot - and not that easy to get for that. I like the fact that the sky is not completely white - it adds a lot of atmosphere.
