I've been out of town for a few days and apologize for the delay.

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.

We had over 50 entries this month and only 20 final slots available. This resulted in many great photos not making the final voting round. If anyone would like to know how their photo could have ranked higher please send me a pm. Many photos simply did not meet the minimum 800px width requirement.

I am an opinionated sob, but this month, I recuse myself. This has to be the best group of photos ever, and I just can't pick one. Kudos to all.
