[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A welcome break from my search for insects!
I was trying to capture a bee in flight over a nestle bush when I noticed this chamaeleon watching me intently. Although these creatures are reknowned for their ability to change colours in order to mimic their surroundings, this fellow did not seem to bother much and never changed from the colours shown. He [or she] allowed me a series of shots before turning tail and disappeared into the bush.
Hope you like it.

Excellent macro of the lizard, Mark.
How fortunate of you to have so much wild life to shoot at will.

Quite a pleasing portrait of this chameleon.
Good even light and exposure. Sharp details. Good OOF background.

Bonjour,
cela vaut bien une abeille :o)
excellent cliché, bravo d'avoir su saisir l'opportunité...
Je pense aller à Malte en Juillet, j'espère avoir cette chance de croisé un de ces reptiles...
Bravo et merci du partage

Hi Mark,
A sharp and clear picture. Exposure, contrast, and POV are perfect. Another fine photo that I enjoy so much.
