I like the closeness of the shot and the fact that it was taken low to the ground. You notice everything about the Chameleon, even the 'claws' (sorry, don't know what they're called), I've never seen that before in any other photo. I do find myself drawn to the shadow, I think it's because it does not resemble the Chameleon - perhaps the 'running away' aspect of it. I'm finding I'm turning my head sideways to look at the shadow, wishing I had the photo in my hands. ;-) Ok, enough said - Great photo Gerry!!! I absolutely love this picture!

Cropped quite tight on the top to not include some of the trees in the background but agree completely! :) Thanks Kerry!

It's an unusual take and I love the angle and the shadow. It balances the image out for me while still providing interest.I might have put a tiny bit more space at the top of the tail (shadow and chameleon) but I really like it... great shot!
