[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another picture I shot in the Galápagos Islands. This land iguana poses just in front of my camera and seems to look at me curiously, asking what about I'm doing there! In the background the ocean branch between the islands Plaza Sur and Plaza Norte.
I've been really impressed by these yellows dragoons. I'll post some more pictures later on.
Have a nice evening!

Splendide photo de cet iguane à l'air bien sympathique, sur fond magique de paradis terrestre.
Dommage que l'on ne voie pas ses mains en entier cependant!
J'ai réalisé un WS, pour redresser un peu la ligne d'horizon; malheureusement, cela a coupé encore plus la main gauche.
Bonsoir et bon weekend.
Marie Louise.

Bonjour, Bertrand.

Cette image est assez remarquable, et l'iguane est superbe avec sa posture "hautaine" (je n'aime pas bien faire dans l'antropomorphisme, mais bon...). La profondeur est bien vue, et les couleurs superbes, aussi bien pour le reptile que pour le paysage. Un plus est à noter pour les textures. Malheureusement, le cadrage est à revoir, la ligne d'horizon bien penchée (et bien corrigée en ws, bien qu'il en manque encore), et il est dommage d'avoir coupé les pattes de l'animal alors qu'il y'avait de quoi gagner suffisamment sur le ciel sans nuire à l'ensemble. Ceci dit, je comprends que le temps à allouer à la prise de vue était peut-être très limité.
Ca n'en reste pas moins une fort belle contribution.
Merci du partage.

Though the subject is too central in this shot, it has an undeniable attraction. Nice job.

Another funny picture, Bertrand, but unfortunetely you have croped one the front paws of the IGUANA which should be more interesting to see it "au complet" !
Regards, bonsoir!
A nice weekend,

Hi Bertrand,

A great subject and I love your low POV but it's a pity you cropped off his front-right foot. Also, your horizon is really sloping down to the left. Still I guess if you straightened it up it would mean cropping off his front-left foot too! ;)

I look forward to seeing some more of your Galapagos pictures. All the best,

Rich

Lovely! I simply have to visit Galapagos soon!

Hi Bertrand,
What a handsome fellow you have caught here with his steely gaze at our photographer. Beautiful blue background to compliment the yellow of this unique creature.
Regards, Tom
