Description

I've always thought these creatures to be from another time, they seem so much like cousins to the dinosaur. I find the patterns of their scales fascinating. This was my first entry to this months challenge, the eye. I hope you enjoy it!!! Thanks for all your support and kind comments!!! Akemi

Beautiful work. You're right - the patterns of the scales are fascinating - & you've done a fantastic job of framing it & getting the color, detail & lighting just right...

The eye of the iguana is representative of wisdom in my mind. That and their vibrant green and gold scales make them one of my favorite animals on earth. Enjoyed the photo!

I agree completely, Akemi. Amazing detail here, and it looks so alive. I think he might look a bit more prehistoric if you cloned out the fluorescent lights, though.
