Come on. We need a theme!

Sorry no theme for November. You're welcome to get creative or just do what you think looks best.

December Theme: Holidays / Winter

We had over 50 contest entries this month that represented many beautiful chameleons. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of slots available for the final vote and some excellent photos did not make it. Some entries were removed simply because they did not meet the required minimum width or size ratio, but in general the level of competition was the biggest factor. If anyone would like some private feedback on their entry I'd be happy to talk by pm.

Comparing the original size of each image can help and is recommended. Photos should not only be judged by the chameleon displayed, but also on composition and image quality.
