David, I love this comp -- coming into the light with, what, a bit of a smirk? Great detail on this non-cuddly. Nice work, and you probably had to lend your knees to it to get this angle. #10234611Carla Capra Anderson July 18, 2012
I'm think'n Susan is right, definetly non-cuddly! But, well captured. #10234615David Resnikoff July 18, 2012

Nice shot David. This reminds me of the Green Iguana I had as a pet when I was younger. While they aren't likely to attack, I wouldn't want to try to pick it up; their tails are nasty and they have a mean bite if cornered. Mine loved those big green tomato worms (caterpillars) and would dive across the cage to get them. Food for thought next time you want to photograph one. What does this look like in B&W? #10235660David Resnikoff July 18, 2012
Howard,I thought converting it into BW.
So, following your kind suggestion I´ll give it a try and post it soon.
The first time I took my wife to Mexico ( at the time my British Girlfriend) , Iguanas where sold at the beach (not Acapulco). It almost cost me my future marriage when I refused.
Thanks
