So many great pictures this month
I dont envy you trying to pick the best of them

 

[Brad]

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.

Having a hard time deciding on your favorite?

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.
