Sounds about right, I'm used to getting blamed for things that are totally out of my control. I work in retail ...

Vote Now

As usual some great photos did not make it to the final round. If anyone has any related questions or concerns feel free to contact me privately. The goal of the reduction phase is to reduce the number of entries to a more manageable number for voting. When submitting photos keep in mind that we use contest entries to build our annual chameleon calendar so elements such as lighting and composition are very important.
