Iguana

Here is a picture I took of an Iguana while trying out different ISO settings.

All C&C would be great.

Colours and composition are lovely, and the textures are very inviting, giving a nice tactile feel to the picture.

I think it needs a touch more DOF as the tip of the beasties snout is a little too soft for my taste.

All in all tho, I think it's a lovely shot, very imaginatively lit..

Thanks for the advice and postive comments.

Wonderfull shot, I love the color/lighting and the detail in the texture of his skin. the only thing that takes away from it for me is the light on the left of his face.

Slightly harsh lighting ime guessing? Sun?

He looks quite a photogenic lizzard (unlike the ones I tryed to shoot in spain!)

Have anouther shot!

He was very cooperative, just sat there and looked at me as though I was a complete fool. Saying that he was about 5' long, so if he had moved I would of legged it...

Yer he looks the cooperative type. I think he looks beutifull, Wish I could have a shot at him!!

Take it he is not ures then?

No it's my other halfs, and the thing scares the living daylights out of me. Saying that she will quite happly sit there with it resting it's head on her lap, and it will walk around the house.

what a beauty. i was snapping lizards on sunday - took a lot of sitting still to get them to trust me, they do watch you all the time, but it's nice when they let you close. i even had some baby ones scampering about unsre whether to be afraid or curious.

anyway.... lovely shot, looks like you have a good model there, i'd love to have a lizard close at hand for portraits.

Awh Well I to wish I had him floating around, He's a cute fella

He is really cute, but boy he has 1 hell of a bite, which is why I tend to keep out of his way when he is on the rampage!!!!

LOL yer they got pretty big teeth

Just tryed to get anorther shot of him tonight, and he was having none of it. And I just worked out what caused the light spot on the left is his red sun lamp.

Sun/Sun lamp safe difference lol. Ime surprised it came out white tho if its a red lamp :-s oh well light is a amazing thing!
Ime sure you will get plenty more chances in the future and ile look forward to seein em!

Me and my partner are lookin to buy our first ever reptile.
Were after a Leopard Gecko, Lil smaller than ure iguana LOL

So hopefully when we get one ile have something to shoot to
