Reminder

Today is the last day to enter the October photo contest.

minimum width: 800px

The entries this month were excellent and represented many beautiful chameleons. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of slots available for the final vote and some really great photos did not make it. Some entries were removed simply because they did not meet the required minimum width, 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 via 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.

I know you probably get this question alot but I was wondering why my picture didn't make it. I was sure all the rules applied to my picture. Any help? I would just like to know for next time. Thank you!
