Iguana Bridge, that is. In Costa Rica, there is a bridge above a small river with large trees beside it. A large population of iguanas live in the tree tops. The bridge is slightly above the trees.
Looking, down was this looking back:

Nice reptile

I think the shot would be stronger if the front leg was included in the frame. I do like the going OOF rest of the body. Perhaps a slight more space below and a bit less on the top would be my choise of frame.\


I see I have to go there...

Scary looking dude......

Great colours in this one. I'm undecided about the front leg, coming out to include it might have taken away the impact of his head.....

Still a great shot tho'.

The clipped legs seem fine to me as we already know he has legs :) . Good technicals and impressive dewlap.

Cool reptile and I like the facial detail - tough sidelighting but handled well.

What a big dewlap flap. Nice color and detail as well in the head. How big was he?

The detail and color in the head and flap are great. Love how the length of suggested by the OOF background. How big was he?

Very nicely captured. Lots of impact in the features.

The iguanas on the tree tops seemed to be up to three feet long, perhaps longer with the length of tails. Big guys to be sure.
