Nice to know you are making new friends David LOL! Nice detail and color and shadowing #1475542

Arthur,
I am a very sociable person. I had to bribe this one with a bit of lettuce.
It paid off

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. #10234611

I'm think'n Susan is right, definetly non-cuddly! But, well captured. #10234615

Dear Susan and Carla,
Certainly not cuddly at all.
I took the picture lying on my side.
As you can see I used a 300mm lens.
I did not want to get closer

Very nice photo. I don't think I would want to get too close either! You certainly braver than me! #10234665

Kalena,

Thanks a lot .
I do appreciate it.
To be honest Iguanas are harmless

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? #10235660

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
