Taken with Canon 300mm 4.0L ISM lens and Canon Extender EF 1.4x II.

I found this iguana hanging out in a mobile home retirement community in South Florida. The local residents come to the canal to feed him and the birds bread scraps.

  I had no idea something this cool lived in FL. I guess he went there to retire. This is an amazing Iguana and an amazing capture. Everything is done perfectly. Simply awesome!

  Thanks for all the nice comments. I grew up in South Florida 25 years ago and iguanas were pretty rare at the time, but from what I understand they have become common now and many of them are almost as large as alligators. This one was pretty small - about 3 feet long.
