We received over 50 entries this month representing many beautiful chameleons. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of slots available and some great photos didn't make it. If your photo did not advance to the voting round you're welcome to send me a pm to inquire about how it might have ranked higher.

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.

I felt the same way this month. I was really stuck between three of them, but would have chosen about six if I could have! Great shots everyone!

Some cracking entries this month, well done to all the finalists and good luck.

I had a hard time choosing as these are all so good.
