Another iguana, much more colorful than our other one. I had to do a lot of PP on this, mostly because the bright green legs were distracting from the head, and I was stuck with the angle I had because I was shooting through an immovable cage (and the lizard wasn't in the mood anywhere). So I colored the legs the same as the cage material and then blurred them.
I had a couple of other variations I played with (tighter crop and processing variation):
In answer to the macro question: just used the zoom. I have decided lizards are VERY photogenic beasts!
woman, you mighta aughta bring this lizzard on home. I agree, very photogenic (not sure I could sleep with one in the house). I truly think you'd do really well in a challenge with this picture. should we suggest a "lizzard" challenge? or a "pre-history in modern times" challenge?
