    Cool presentation! This is a wild iguana? Neat and good post processing. It makes for a very unique look.

    Wow. I thought for sure there was added post processing. Those are some awesome and fantastic colors then! Wow once again!

    Wonderful job catching details! I'm guessing you've moved to south Florida if you have an iguana living around (not to mention the pink stucco! :D ).

    Thanks again...
    a little saturation/vibrance boost - not much, and slight sharpening, but the background is really a little orange/pinkish rather than pink and is the side of the house...it was a good opportunity for both framing the shot and with the light - taken with a 30D and a 400mm f/5.6...thanks for commenting...regards..Keith

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I promise eventually to get up to your neck of the woods, but i can't promise when. In the meantime, only about 1 hr away from Anhinga Trail - can't complain about that:ivar Regards...Keith
