Sunday is the contest entry deadline.

I have removed photos that did not meet the minimum width requirement of 800 pixels.

 

[Brad]

We had over 60 entries this month and I want to thank everyone that participated. The level of competition was tough and many great photos did not make it to the final voting round. If anyone would like to know how their photo could have ranked higher please send me a 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.
