Good Day,

One of the striking details when you walk around the trails of your resort, is the amount of iguanas present in the gardens. As soon as the sun is warming up the atmosphere , they are popping out everywhere, joining the tourists, in the most popular activity. ..... sunbathing ! (^_^)

This one was captured as I was walking down the seashore path toward the sea water pool, Check the map for the exact location.

Technically: Image slightly cropped. Resized and framed.

I observed animals are difficult to shoot under bright sunlight conditions. Unfortunately we had two weeks of sunshine ( and without rain ).It was cool for us, but bad for many photo sessions. Here I was fortunate to find this fellow. He was laying on a branch with greens behind him instead of the usual rocky environment . I avoided overexposition more easily and managed to balance better the luminosity.

Bonsoir Robert,
Pauvre vous, deux semaines de soleil, sans une goutte de pluie! Quelles vacances, vraiment! :))
J'ai toujours dit que j'ai dû être, dans une autre vie, une sorte de lézard parce que je m'identifie complètement avec eux sous le soleil! Ah, la dolce vita! Quel beau concept!
En dépit de la lumière crue, cette photo est tout à fait réussie. Par la moindre OE, un arrière plan joliment diffus et un focus exemplaire sur la belle bête (j'imagine le joli sac à main ou la paire de souliers !!!! qu'elle ferait, une blague bien sûr! Que du bonheur pour l'œil!
Bravo! Annie

Looks very serious :)) excellent detail Robert.. thanks

Hello Robert

Excellent capture with great sharpness and details.
A very decent bokeh ur lens has given here.
How about adding a little saturation or boosting colors a bit? (Just an openion)

Cheers

Hello Robert, you did a wonderful job in taking this shot, no over-exposure at all.The green foliage is the perfect bg for the grey of the lizard.
Very sharp details,
Well presented.
Tfs, regards Jean.
