    One gorgeous iguana I guess they are going with the flow since they didn't care much for the iguanas !!! Need to check it out

    I like the pose and sharpness Would only have tried to avoid the light bg line... could be filled in but not easy work !!!

    btw they had one in the building next to the cafeteria and people used to photograph .. it was rubber !!!!

    What an expression on this guy---he looks like he doesn't stand for any foolishness! I like the dramatic colors in the Iquana and the bg.

    Love the colours and the expression - agree with ALon the light strip in the BG.

    I darkened the background using Raw adjustment brush. Better?

    Hi Richard

    It is less distracting but does not look natural? Might just try getting rid of the light line I find with bg like this one difficult to blend since it has a wide ranges of tones. Would take some work !!!
