I see you got a lot closer than Jan. Either she is squeamish or you have a more powerful lens. You don't have to answer that Sir Nigel. I can see where some of the ideas for Star Wars came from for costumes. Beautiful skin color and texture. Good post and I wouldn't be surprised if your pelican ate this litte fellow.
sorry if i don't comment on each of your pictures. to those of you who comment so often, i can't imagine how you get it done! i for one am always extremely grateful for the kind comments and suggestions that you make.

Now this is a real stunner. Great shot Nigel, everything about it is excellent. Fav'd. (Just glad the lizards on the walls in Thailand aren't these beautiful, but BIG guys, might have second thoughts about going, lol) Love the name too! I will have to go see Jan's Iggy, lol!
I love your humour :)
And I have to add he certainly pops out of the screen.
Great shot, so many colour variations and textures and you even got him to smile :)
The color is what first grabs my eye and then the textures. A wonderful portrait and beautiful framing of the shot. Looks like you have a winner with Iggy Pop.
heheh, aint he cute, i like the full on close up view you have him, you can see all the textures in his skin and everything!!
funny mine has come out bluer than yours! did you get any of the cute green one?? very neat shot, im impressed with the details!

Just got this in the VB. I stomped all over it! (Just kidding).
Love the detail on this booger. Love the colors too. wouldn't want to meet him in the dark. You can keep him. I'll just enjoy looking at him as I add him to my animal collection.

Just look at all those colours, talk about being a bit of a peacock. The detail on this image is fantastic Nigel. Was this shot through glass? If it was it's even more remarkable.

Hello, my Prince Charming !!!!
10/10 in VB is obvious.
And who dared to use the name of ugly sod -, will have to stand to a mortal combat with ME, Marzena to say nothing of the dog .. Be prepared !!! LOL
It looks calm and easy going iguana............ mmmmmmmmmmm. but I prefer stay a bit far from it.
The picture itself is crisp, clear and perfect in details.

Wow. A remarkable creature that you captured gloriously. The background hues set off the iguana's colors perfectly and the tack sharp detail suits the subject well. What a suit of armor that guy has to lug around!
ok, it is high time I moved my lazy Romanian butt and comment on one of your amazing shots. I am scared of any kind of reptiles, but this one rocks. Sharp perfect and color perfect, Sir Nigel!!!
Okay. So you're in the Heart of a Storm. Everything is perfectly calm, right? But you know that at any minute that calm is going to go away, and everything is going to be in chaos, and the world around you will literally blow you away. I want to be there.
Hello Nigel....It is a beautiful image technically perfect and I like the way you have filled the whole frame with your subject....All the best...Mick.
Ohhh Nigel, this is just awesome. What a character shot.hehe The colours and designs on him are just amazing. I love the little smirk on him and that eye, wow. Aren't animals like this just fantastic?! I love that you got this closeup portrait of him. Thank you so much. I am pure enjoying going thru your gallery. Its so much more fun now that I have cable.
