June '10 Photo Contest

[Warrix642]

Yea, I will vote for the best photo, regardless of what chameleon is in it. It's possible that in a month when someone considers all the photos so-so they might vote for the prettiest chameleon, but I think that's probably a minority.

As soon as I get my good camera I'm going to include photos of my Jackson's, and see what happens lol Lets test the "conspiracy" theory!

Good luck, my Panthers almost always make the final cut but my Jackson, Montium and Meller have never. I'm no photographer but I think they were all great photos. Not trying to complain, just seems a little off. I will always enjoy the contest no matter what!


P.S. Thank you for having the contest every month!

I wish I could vote for two. I almost always have trouble picking between two photos.

 

[ijmccollum]

I must be way lame 'cause I usually find several that are worthy of winning.

I have just voted for Trace's beautiful chameleon, and she's not a panther or veiled! I like the photo because the water on her back looks like she is sparkling with diamonds!

[Trace]

Hey. Wow! This is a complete surprise as there was some very, very good photos this month. Thanks to everyone who voted. I can hardly wait to see what gets entered for the eating/hunting theme next month.

 

[sandrachameleon]

Congrats to the winners! I am pleased that the two I liked best (other than my own) got medals

Those who were complaining about only veileds or panthers winning should now eat a big fat bag of crow.

It was a good shot. I noticed while in the cham room last night, that one of your chams is featured on the cham calender for June. I had a little lol moment and flipped the calender over to July.

 

[Syn]

Congrats everyone.

 

[Olimpia]

Conspiracy disproved! Fantastic, I'm glad that photo won first. The white with silver is just beautiful.

Congratulations winners!

Good thing I decided to vote last minute or the panther would have won...

 

[ijmccollum]

Job well done everyone! And big congrats to the winners -- it was a tough one.

I thought the white cham was a baby panther when I voted for it.
