This one is from North Seymour Island on the Galapagos. The small lizard is a Lava Lizard, fairly often you see them on top of their larger relatives, in this case a Land Iguana, but often it's a Marine Iguana. I think they grab small insects that are stirred up by their larger, vegetarian relatives.

Nate, this is awesome! What a fantastic nature story. It is so sharp just where it needs to be. I may tone down the bright spots near the big guys head

This is so cool Nate! What a great way to compose this image with the larger lizard/perch fading away into a nice OOF BG. One of the coolest lizard images I have seen!
