Wow.. a ton of veileds..

 

[Chamgirl]

Luie got my vote for being a very beautiful Veiled specimen! I would also like to mention VerteX's 'rainy day' panther as I hope it does well and I'd personally like to see it win a medal too.

 

[warpdrive]

I'm a big fan of VerteX's photos, so his shot got my vote.
but to be honest, I think they are all great.

keep up the great photography guy/gals, I love seeing your chams.

If there are too many veilds for your taste, might I interest you in supporting a Mellers chameleon? hehe.... great pics everyone!

See Ya,

Todd

Merumontanus: That shot is Priceless!!! We have all seen the classic Cham "Golf Clap" But that one takes the cake. So many great things about it, How could I not vote for it.

Ha! You're very kind... I get a kick out of it every time I see it. I'm glad you liked it!

Cheers,

Fabián
