Gandalf loving the spring

He is boycotting his cage

Ha, how cute! It really does look like he's throwing his head back and saying "Noooooo, I don't wanna! You can't make me!"

His rebellious character is to die for. After I took the pic and was looking at it he was leggin for the top of the tree i would show you the pic but that's cheating I think

Reminder: Thursday is the last day to enter the July photo contest.

I just reviewed the current entries and had to remove some great photos because they did not meet the minimum width requirement of 800px. It's not too late to reenter.

Ahh, I was wondering what I did wrong. It's all good now.

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 60 entries this month and as usual only a limited number of final slots available. Many great photos did not make it to the final round. If you would like some feedback on how your entry might have been graded higher I'm happy to answer questions by private message. Thank you everyone for participating and good luck to the finalists.

Wow, second place! Cool.... I thought the only photos that ever placed were of panthers or veiled.

Must be why my name above got changed to "Mike Panther".

Thanks for so many votes everybody! Truly honored to have gotten so many!
