I don't think your alone
I think I've got a rather handsome chameleon if I do say so myself and a decent set of photography skills. Well since the phone does all the work I'll say decent. The last few that I entered I thought I might get at least a few votes. (I never vote for myself) but was left feeling a little disappointed
does no one else think my chameleon is handsome. Hanging out in natural sunlight out in the urban jungle I've worked so hard to create.
The photo you entered in the photo contest last month was excellent. You got three votes which is one (well technically two) more votes than what mine got. I figured
@javadi paid all the voters off, so I mitigated some of that risk by voting for myself.
I got a total of two votes meaning that only one person voted for me.
Don't take the votes as people not thinking that your cham is handsome because he is absolutely stunning. Also, a lot of people like
@kinyonga are
very old and most likely have
poor eyesight. Plus, the dry cold air up in Canada really drys out the eyes making seeing things a whole lot harder.
@kinyonga states that she has chameleons, but I bet they are just regular old kids' toys in the shape of an iguana. She tosses in crickets everyone in a while and wonders why they always escape her chameleons and end up in the kitchen.
But back on track from me casting heavy shade (that
@kinyonga most likely can't see with
her shriveled up raisin eyes). The number of likes on social media, whether it be on Instagram or the Chameleons Forums isn't a good measure of quality. Someone might vote for a different photo for a number of reasons--even if the quality is a little grainy (
@javadi). The photo contest is a contest in name only. Try cropping your image differently and have fun with it. I'm going to keep resubmitting my photos until they win a medal. You have an awesome community at your fingertips, have fun with them, and I'm sure your photo will get a medal soon.
As a sign of my resolve, I'm going to quit voting for myself. I honestly don't care (
too much) about winning. It is disappointing when your photo doesn't win. But we are all crazy people; I wouldn't trust anyone here to tie a shoe let alone vote to pick out the best photo. And that's the beauty of the contest and this community--we will support you all the way until you almost finish gold then accidentally trip you up so you finish last.

No it's all good, it's a great photo with loads of personality so I can see why it was so popular. Healthy competition huh...let me win one of these competitions and maybe I'll agree with you!
