Low-spirited Iguana

Description

This wild iguana has been hanging around our house for a couple of months. He loves to sit around our pool and dock. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of us. I got several shots of him. He loves soaking up the sun. Most males will turn an orangeish in color when in breeding season. I think he’s looking for a mate. I thought he looked a little low-spirited.

Shot with my 70-200mm f/2 lens with a 1.4/x

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/3200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 230.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D Mark II

Sure wouldn't want to fight him for the floating raft in your pool! lol! Hopefully, he just sunbathes :) As always, Anita, your detail work is perfect, as are the colors and pose of this magnificent fellow! #11246336

I think he's quite beautiful, and the stark contrast with the white shows him very well. Maybe he needs a treat. #11246383
