[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Returned back today after about a week. However I was lucky this time to have access to the internet more frequently. Hence though I was abreast of all the wonderful posts I was unable to upload anything. It was a kind of feeling rotten. So, before I can forage through my butterfly collection I hurriedly upload this beautiful Indian Chameleon and go have some rest.

As I have already given full and extensive details about this reptile in my earlier post I do not go into the usual literature and allow you to spend more time appreciating the beauty of this charming one.

Wow! This is a beauty!
The greens and yellows are very well complimented against the pale sky. Pin-sharp and very detailed. Excellent composition and POV. Great lighting and exposure.
Very well done Sumon.
I hope you get better soon :(

impressive quality of pic,perfect sharpness and details and good choiche of the background. A 1st class pic,thanks for share,Luciano

Hi Sumon,
I'm so glad you took a minute to add this gorgeous creature here. He looks so stately on his perch. The detail and clarity is outstanding. Honestly, I don't think anything could be done to make it better in any way. This is something I would be proud to have framed on my wall. Wonderful Job!!!
Laura

hello sumon,
another of your excellent shot, the colours are lovely and the details are very nice, the blue sky makes a fine bg here, well composed shot with fine pov,
well done,
tfs & regards
pankaj

Your framing and composition are very nice, the DOF is excellent. Great exposure and colour.
Best wishes,
Achim

A piece of art in nature for sure. The small or medium sized creature provides its own natural and intriguing lines...although you did a fine job in positioning in the frame along with a small diagonal line of perch to rest the eye a bit. Glad to see you may have more time now...been missing your images..
Bob

Nice shot. The whole body is sharply focussed. Very good close up.

Congrats, Sumon.
Composition is oustanding. Superb content. A nice presentation.
Well done!

Hello Sumon !
What a wonderful picture ! The texture and colors of his skin are amazing, and I also like the way he is rolling his tail. Sharpness, details and colors are excellent. Composition is splendid, with the Cameleon sitting on the branch against a blue sky - this BG really makes him stand out in the best manner possible. Very well done !
Valerie.

Good profile view. Good sharpness, detail and framing. Color and lighting are fine.

Un 9,5 sobre 10 :-))) Realmente un fantástico trabajo bien cuidado en todos sus aspectos, destacando una bien resuelta composición. Realismo en los colores y apreciables claramente las texturas. Bien trabajado el contraluz a pesar de su evidente dificultad:
Enhorabuena Sumon !!
