[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Instead of one of those iguana close-ups we are familiar with, I post this spot with the a "crowd" of these peculiar animals.

They are actually marine iguanas, a species that only exists in Galapagos, after spending some time in the water, their blood is cold, so they need to dry up in the sun for long hours.

Superb place. Just proper to TE. And really amazing photo with many important details.
Thanks for sharing. Regards.

Hello Daniel,
Very enjoyable composition,a land full of iguanas!
I like the quality of the photo,the line and the contrast between the rock and the deep blue sky!

Greetings,
Thomas

Even when they stand on their place, on the photo it looks like if they would be in slow movement forming the position for collective attack on something on the rock. At least it seems like this for me. Great detailed shot with good colours.

hola, shalom daniel,
most surprising view...never seen such a thing before...truly good te stuff (even if there is no "human" element which is a sort of a must to me)
best wishes, j.

The combination of the rocks and beautifully colored sea alredy made a good picture, but with this pack of iguanes, it now becomes also very original. At first sight, you think of dark traces or dried sea weeds on the stone then you understand there are reptiles all over the rock.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Daniel
Long time...just happened to check your folio when I saw this amazing shot. Not only have I ever seen this before, even in pictures, but also the quality of the photograph is excellent with the off centre placement & the deep blue sea.
Best Regards
Angshu

Hi Daniel,

A good POV of the rock, the iguanas and of the sea, the photo has a good composition, DOF and nice colors. Have a nice day.
