Location
I used to live in the Florida Keys and green iguanas were abundant there. I was picking some banana tree in my yard when I spotted this baby iguana staring at me. He was not movimng at all, likely hoping that he would blend in enough that I would not see him. I ran in the house and grabed my DSLR and it took me a couple of minutes to find him again. Based on his size, he was likely less that 4 weeks old.Time
I was early in the day, so the natural light was not too harsh and gave great ambiance.Lighting

I did some monor adjustments on Lightroom, but not much. I do not do much post work.In my camera bag
