Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!

I dig the hell out of this, primarily because of the detail on the face. Iguanas just have "old" looking scales, don't they? With snakes, the scales usually look "new" or fresh. But iguanas just have an ancient feeling to them. This captures that detail beautifully. Warn scales ~ scales with age and history. The contrast draws this out. The eye (which is, on the other hand, youthful) is a great central focus.

I can imagine some people not liking the shallow DOF ~ and perhaps the tight crop, but I like it here. But I'm a sucker for the tight crop and shallow DOF with reptile studies. Works great for me.

Glad you linked it up!!!
