Titled because it was a Friday when the shot was taken, and my subject seems to be an Iguana well on in years :). I suspect he was a bit irked to have yet another tourist ogling at him and snapping millions of photos, but he stayed put and put up with me :). I found out something cool recently - the roundish scale between his eyes, the one that looks like a little 'nub', is actually a third eye that is light-sensitive only.

Your capture of him very close up really makes this picture stand out! I don't think any of us has had a chance to see what the hide really is like, or to understand the wide variety of patterns. I wouldn't be at all surprised if each iguana has totally individual markings somewhere---as I know zebras and tigers do. Nice reduction of the background, and I hope you have another photo of him showing his crest as well.

What can I say that hasn't been said by other posts. Nice close-up. It might have been a Friday for U, but I suspect from his expression that it was a Monday for him, having to put up with a weekend of viewers. :)
