A strange and unique image with your hand as such. Very good clarity and color. Nice art. I like the eyes in this creature. Plenty of clarity.

Great shot so good luck in the contest. However, some modifications would have been in order in my opinion. First - needs more space to the left and less at the top. Second - shadows should be opened along the underside of the iguana.
Nicely exposed overall and very sharp where it needs to be. Good notes and an interesting subject.

Great contest entry, I love it. Wonderful green with the hint of red just to point out the beauty of the main subject. Excellent focus and depth of field, beautiful lighting too. And, of course, perfect title and great notes:) Thanks for sharing and best wishes for the contest.

Amazing close up of this little guy. Great contrast between his green color and the red post. Love the DOF, great focus and lighting. Love it.

Very nice close up. The color green is well represented and therefore a good contribution to the contest. Good luck. The image is very sharp and clear, but perhaps in places a bit dark. The head with the eye is perfect, and the use of light is good. The image is well balanced and nicely composed.

Comment from DominoSM
The initial impact of this photo is very good. The color harmony is great. The center of interest is this spiny-tale Laguna who has a problem.(I might have cropped the top closer to the center of interest to bring more focus on him. The creativity of presentation is very good as is the story telling. I enjoyed reviewing your work and thank you for sharing
