From my recent trip to the Galapagos. These guys are often piled up making it a challenge to isolate one particular iguana but here's one of my attempts. C and C welcome.

Keith ..for a moment I thought you had been to another planet ...like the vertical comp here ...I feel its ok to have the oof iguanas in the frame ...the only nit I can see it that the frame seems a little harsh ...well done ..

I like your attempt Keith; great use of selective focus here combined with an interesting composition make for a successful image IMO. My only suggestion is that a bit more room on the right would have optimized the comp. Of course I do not know what was on the right outside your frame :wink: .

These are so cool looking Keith, very unusual..Like the closed eye looks as it suns itself - Seems to be enjoying it. Good job of pulling one out the pack :toast:
