<br />
Meet a critically endangered Iguana, found on only a few Caribbean Islands, this one on St Eustatius (Statia) in the Dutch Antilles.  Only a few hundred survive on the island, and they are difficult to locate and even more difficult to photograph, as they live in trees and move slowly and quietly.  So I was particularly fortunate after a few days to find this maturing juvenile at close quarters and in a good position.<br />
<br />
This image has been donated to STANAPA, the National Park on the island, who didn’t have a photo of the Iguana they could display.  A copy was also donated to Waimari Primary School.  This image has been accepted in four international exhibitions in 2011 and is published in NZ Camera 2012 due out in February.<br />
<br />
The key points for the sharpness of this photo are focus, good light and use of a polarising filter to eliminate any specular highlights.  It was handheld at 1/160th of a second with image stabilisation at 190mm focal length, but I braced myself to help steady the shot.
