Title: "Wild South Floridian"
Location: Margate, FL
The Reptile: Green Iguana
Photographer: Cathy Laurenzi
Artist's Statement: I took this photo in a retirement community. I was photographing some wading birds at the edge of a canal when a resident walked up and began feeding the ducks AND the wild iguana that frequented the area. He was in the grass just a few feet from me and I hadn't noticed him. I was shooting with a 300mm lens, but he was so close I had to keep backing up. Minor tonal adjustments were the only changes I made from the original photograph.
