    Thanks for the comments! I did zoom up on the iguana but when choosing a pic I thought this one has the best background to remind you of DA :)

    My apologies. Not Indian river! but nice view regardless.

    I do not agree. The photo is framed with the backdrop in mind. The lizard is not the only interesting thing in the photo. Grateful to the photographer for showing that those lizards enjoy a bit of water too. Obviously it has chosen to bask on the concrete to get its body heat going. But it is also enjoying the view of the Indian river.
    Just like me!

    its very beautiful, but i just think that you should have taken a closer pic.. u know, a lil zoom in would be better so i could admire that iguana some more. but great job none the less. keep it up

    Nice pic..but seeing that the iguana was the main focus i think you could have zoom more on it, too much head space…
