Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

Fantastic! Impressive "design" and wonderful guy.

Great picture but tell your friend he has metabolic bone disease and is in poor health. UVB and UVA lighting is probably insufficient and even a proper nutricious diet wont amount to much without it because he can't metabolize his food. Lower jaw is receded back and eyes are a bit poppy. Another year and his kidneys are going to fail. This is not an easy animal to keep healthy in captivity. U.S. alone kills approx 500,000 green iguanas prematurely per year by keeping these spectacular creatures as pets. Many iguanas are already on the worlds endangered species list.

Aww if that is true, I'm sorry to hear it TwiddleDee. Regardless, it is an outstanding photo of this very colorful and seemingly full of health Iguana Akemi. The detail and clarity is outstanding and he sure looks like a dinosaur to me!! Amazing creature!! Vote!
caro_gigi
Is he real? Brrrr, so impressive!!What a original one!Good shot!
eyeland
Beautiful & noble portrait. Sad if the state of his health is indeed that bad...
