Beautiful shot of the iguana. The colours are very good- warm, yet realistic.

I was on the Galapagos Islands myself some years ago and i remember how the iguanas were just hanging out everywhere; how I wish I could go back and take pictures- some of them might turn out good this time around. *dozing off into memery land*

Oh I hear you! I'm so glad I went to Galapagos now and not some years ago when I was completely ignorant and gear-less, photo-wise. I went a couple of time in southern Africa 5-8 years ago, and I now really regret the photo opportunities I must have had then...

Yeah... I feel the same way. And I bet you'll look back on your trip to Galapagos 5 years from now and feel the same way about that - progression is a wonderfull thing!

You are SO right! I was there for about as long and I feel like I've missed everything! I didn't go to the biggest island, didn't see any land iguanas, didn't see any wild turtles!... I did see some penguins though...

Did you see the 3-part BBC documentary on the galapagos ? It has just the most amazing images! Definitely worthy of watching, if you can stand not going there right after

Yeah. I think I did see some of it actually. I'm not sure, I watch so many nature documentaries and more than 3 of them have been about the Galapagos - I just love those islands!
