“Iguana”
This photo, simply titled “Iguana,” was the winner of #Animals2020. Taken in Jakarta, Indonesia, it shows an iguana stopping to smell the sunflowers in a field.
“The iguana conveys the beauty and uniqueness of nature,” the photographer Jjin Matt said in a statement.
Funnily enough, though this image is certainly unique—I’ve never seen anything like it!—it actually feels weirdly relatable to me. I know I don’t have bright teal scales or haunting, lemon-yellow eyes. But who among us has not seen a sunflowers and wanted to stick our noses right into one and wrap our arms around another? This iguana is all of us.
