Photographer's Note
It is not hard to spot an Iguana at Korsow (Curacao). In fact it is on the menu of the local restaurants though the species is officially protected. They are fascinating animals, scared of people in some parts and almost tame at other parts.

Hello Gerrit, a superbly sharp shot of the Iguana,an amazing creature with the wonderful patterning and colouring of its' skin.
I am sad to hear that they are eaten!
I like the bokeh which accentuates the sharp picture.
Regards Jean.

Hello Gerrit,
It's a fantastic creature, totally fascinating, and you found a perfect angle and environment for this photo. A few years ago I saw an Iranian movie about a filmmaker in a house arrest, sitting alone at home with only an iguana for company. It's amazing that they can get as tame as a cat or a dog. It's amazing as well to find an animal like this in "Netherlands, Europe": ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Gerrit,
Superb close-up on this colourful and fascinating creature. Perfect control over depth of field with excellent rendering of the colours and textures in the skin. I am not sure I would want to eat one.

Hallo Gerrit,
Ergens lijkt deze iguana wat op een draak maar dan toch op een heel mooie.
Je toont ons hier een fantastisch prachtige en uiterst scherpe foto van dit diertje dat zich vastgrijpt op de rots.
Echt mooi tegenover de wazige blauwe achtergrond.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Gerrit,
an excellent shot of this "dinosaur":) I like these fascinating animals(I had a boa! and a Burmese python for many years ago) I like the fact that this shot is taken in free nature and not in a zoo. Wonderful colors and a pin sharp picture, well done!
Have a nice evening/

Hello Gerrit,
It looks similar to the bearded dragon of east Australia. http://www.zoo.org.au/sites/default/files/styles/zv_carousel_large/public/eastern-bearded-dragon-1-animal-profile-web620.jpg?itok=xnV_tQqn
Except for the green color which I am sure would help camouflage it in the forest. Good sharpness and the oof overarching bg branch helps frame it. Tfs!

Hi Gerrit,
Excellent portrait of this iguana. The posture is quite dynamic as the body makes a diagonal line. And the focus is perfectly on the eye. Blue background with that spiky branch is quite nice too.
