The iguana factor

Perched above, it was basking in the winter sun

Dang! That's a really cool shot. He almost looks like wax. The green and blue contrast the iguana's colors nicely. :)

and all colors are the natural tones with very little done in lightroom. I had a polarizer on the lens after scouting for rainbows. I didn't want to take it off and it dialed down the 2pm sun effect just enough to be very productive. Of the branch shots that day, I believe I took only about 7 or 8 shots total. He's about 15 ft up above everyone.

It's such a fantastic angle. King lizard! It's nice to see you talk about the polarizer. I learned about mine 40 yrs ago. Sure, I ought to take it off at least sometimes, but...

I saw a guy commenting on his image the other day... how he only shoots at sunrise, and sundown because that's the only good light. I just shrugged as I thought... what a shame, and moved on. Nothing interesting or fun to talk about there.

I really like the background vegetation. The way it is rendered, along with the blue behind it, is so beautiful!
