Iguana on Brickell Key, Miami

As I was inching closer and closer (this is a 14mm wide angle shot which gives it a perspective that is a lot further way than it really was) until I was about 4 feet from this creature it violently whipped its tail at me and it actually struck the camera lens. Scared the hell out of me!

 

Captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC lens.
