wow that is very awesome dragon!!!!!!!:)
Oh yeah he looks good, fabulous capture!!
I would love to have something like this as a pet but yeah I agree a bit big maybe ;) Dont know how you could have forgotten something like this... Awesome shot and excellent lighting in it. Thanks for sharing buddy! Hope you are keeping well! Happy new year.
I have always been fascinated by the Komoto. A bit of prehistoric life still among us. However, not so much the size stops me, but the fact that they are deadly! the amount of bacteria in thier mouth means that one small scratch my their teeth can kill! And they are not know for an even temper. :-) Wonderful photo!
Superb photo Tom!! Amazing creature, for sure. Happy New year, Di and David, home with me now :-) God bless and Hugs!!! We are fine and happy here. . .
wow I like the sharpness of the texture on his skin. cool shot and Happy New Years
Nice composition having him coming up in the frame. Yes I guess he wouldn't like the cat much. Have a great 2007!
Huge..... Interesting they are. Excellent. Aloha
That was a great capture Tom, in or out of captivity. Nice work!
Impressive creature...after posting mine, I came looking for this one, from your comment. He's a beauty, in that monitor lizard sort of way! This is a fantastic capture, and since he's a LOT larger than the one I photographed up close, I can understand you not getting close enough to smell him. Fantastic work!!!
