By very strange coincidence, I was at the Steinhardt Aquarium a few weeks ago, so I might just have some additional insight for you;)
First of all, nicely composed and focussed shot. If I remember correctly, ths lizard house is pretty dark, and that explains the wide open aperture and unfortunately shallow DOF. I'd have liked to have seen just a bit more of the Iguana (?) in focus. The use of flash in these dark conditions has left you with a blown out foreground and detail-free background. Again, however, this is a consquence of the shooting conditions, so I can understand.
I'm not sure if they would let you use a tripod, but that would be the way to go here. If you could get away with no flash you would have much better color saturation and contrast. I'm not sure if it's possible with your camera, but another alternative may have been to push up the ISO as far as it could go - again, with the intention of obviating the use of the flash.
All in all though, a nice composition (I presume you had to shoot from a low angle to get this one) and a powerful choice of subject.

It's a good play on words and I googled it. Yes. It's a "small" novel. This is a case where the author's name should have been included to save people time looking it up. Not that I'm complaining.
I would have liked to see his eye open. |

| Night of the Iguana, would have worked better. A bit more contrast would have helped the photo. |

| I am not sure that this is quite legit as a book title, but who cares, I love your sense of humor, and the shot is nice too |

| I'll take your word for the title...the folded leaf shape on the right is very distracting, the lizard is crisdp and clear |

Thank goodness someone had the nerve to post a twist on a title -- I'll be posting a few as out-takes after the voting, but I ended up going with a "straight" interpretation myself.
Good luck! Someone seems to have opened the drain on the humor reservoir around here lately ... |
