Bonaire Dragon, a photo from Netherlands Antilles, Other

Photographer's Note

I have seen so many iguanas on Bonaire that one could easily say they are hardly rare animals. You can see him running away while you cross the deset land on a mountainbike or you can see them in the national park where they are used to people and don't stand the change of being shot by local boys catapulls.
I had the previlege of seeing this one holding a fossilized piece of coral under one of its claws.

Hello Gerrit,
Meeting one of these in its natural habitat would be a terrific experience. You were very lucky to get so close, and even more in a place like this. The fossilized coral is a perfect complement to the beautiful creature which you have captured with superb sharpness and light management.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello dear Gerrit

Fantastic close up of this prehistoric creature. His coat is wonderful and you have captured such amazing details, textures and colours. The way you composed the shot, tightly cropping it, was very skillful, employing excellent depth of field and sharpness.

Warm regards
Lisa

Hi Gerrit,
incredibile la nitidezzza di questa foto.
Il soggetto è ripreso con grande professionalità.
Sembra di vedere una animale preistorico, sebbene da essi discende.

Compliments and TFS!
Francesco
