I'm trying!!! Can't actually get a good shot of Zaphod hunting his new Hornworms .

 

[Ladybones]

The rules say 1 photo per member correct? I seen someone with 2 photo's and I don't want to submit 2 photos just in case it was only 1

It can be difficult to get the right timing and conditions.

One entry per member. If there are multiple valid entries I usually take the first one I see and delete the others.

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.

 

[Chameleonic]

Very nice all these pictures, I like them all especially the ones with babies.

 

[KatCham]

How are you supposed to pic just one?!?!?!

Some fantastic shots there!!

Awwww factor of the babies and the whoa/wow factor of the adult action shots!!!

Nice photography everyone!!

Good luck

 

[stalincat]

[maxttu]

Very nice shots, everyone! I love the babies!

Is it wrong of me that I knew who I was voting for as soon as I saw his little green face?....... I still wish I had 3 votes........

 

[Captive Creations]

Wow I just wanted to say This month has so many GREAT shots in the contest that it is very hard to pick only 1 to vote for. all the photos were great shots and beautiful chameleons so great job to everyone who made it to the finals. You pictures are all beautiful.

I am all for increasing the number of votes we are allowed per person

 

[sarahlynne]

how do you vote for one??

 

[Olimpia]

how do you vote for one??

You cannot vote until you become a Member, right now you are still a Junior Member. This will happen with a combination of time and contribution to the forum, which shouldn't take too long.

I can't wait I think Randall was the only veiled looking at all the pictures I was disappointed in my picture as the fog in the background made it look
blurry

Good Luck Everyone, You all had great pictures!
