Beautiful capture Jason, great close-up and clarity, beautiful creatures, hey Jason, do you have a zoo in your backyard Lol….you have some wonderful photo’s in your portfolio.
Josie, thank you again for your encouraging comments!
Not quite a Zoo, my last couple of shots are are from a wildlife sanctuary.. so unfortunately I’m not some crazed David Attenborough worshipper trudging through forests to find guys like this.. as much as I’d like to let on! ..haha.
Also I’m lucky enough to have a very open back veranda to my house, which overlooks an open golf course so we can plenty of bird visitors around the back railing and roof guttering.. the tricky part is trying to shoot them without the railing or house in the background.
Thank you again Josie!

My favourite Iguana.. nice image too.
I have to remove him from Australian Wildlife though, as the name says, he is Fijian!
AH yeah! I’m just thinking because I shot him in Australia, my apologies Steve thanks for that mate.

LOVE this as I have an iggy at home myself!
but do you have a kimodo dragon or bearded dragon? For dragon’s fire, those are the only lizard let in because they are dragons, tho I know iggys look more like dragons, and act like them too! LOL
I wish I had my own Iguana, cool creatures. Sorry about the mis-submission, that’s the 2nd failing I’ve had with submitting this image to groups. Anyway thanks Patricia!

That is some shot and some iguana! Thank you for submitting this work to Solo Exhibition, Jason. :)
Many thanks once again :)
– Jason Asher
Submit it in Who Are You to Judge and Your Accepted, And Reptiles I know they will have no problem
Don’t take it as a sign it’s a bad shot, it is NOT and that lizard is CUTE! so to hell with the rejections.
Thanks Patricia, I joined those groups and added it :) I’ve joined so many groups already the past couple of weeks and there’s still so many more..

Thank you Adam, appreciate that mate! Say myself and the lady will be staying at springbrooks mouses house in a couple of weeks – any particular areas of interest you might recommend around the area?
