Marine Iguana
From Galapagos. Really enjoyed spending a lot of time with these.

Handsome little begger and well shot! Shame he hasn't got an eye open - it's a little lifeless for me (although I do appreciate you haven't got all day to sit and wait that to happen on Galapagos!)

Hi Matey :wavey:

Looks like he is just about to roll over. Appreciate they don't open their eyes much, just a typical pose for an everyday Iguana. Again for me, it looks like it could do with a bit more USM & Sat John?

Hiya Steve
Your probably right about the USM, The original looks more saturated - think I messed up on the 'save for web' bit.
I can see Daves point about the open eye, but this appealed to me because he is so chilled catching the last of the sun.
