[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just posting a fun picture of a chameleon and kind of a rare one since most the time you can barely find a situation where their eyes are lined up and not pointing off in different directions into la-la land.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

I wasn't really thinking about other languages when I wrote the semi-encrypted fun title, it might not make sense, so here it is in normal mode - 'I only have eyes for you.' Sorry about that.

Hi Paul,
Love it, superb :-) Your note made me laugh, I've always thought they look a little bit crazy with their eyes just wandering in every direction. Superb image, even the texture on the skin is clearly visible, fantastic detail. Amazing to see one this close as well. Great image.
Cheers,
Adrian

Ahhhh...bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

This is indeed, just as you said, quite rare, my friend - to have both of one's eyes nicely aligned. You did great to seize the moment.

Another thing you did great here is to have used a small f-number that concentrated all the attention strictly on that part of the head. Splendid work!

Aside that, i love the colors, i love the textures and i love the POV.

...you really insist on me filling all my favorite slots with your photos, don't ya? :)))

Take care my friend and TFS

bonjour Paul,
ahaha cette fois c'est une vue de face, "tu as de beaux yeux tu sais".
Magnifique choix pour un résultat surprenant et parfait. La netteté, les couleurs sont extra.

Hi Paul,
This rocks! Great colors and detail. I learned a new technique at Photoshop World in Las Vegas last week that would work great on a shot like this. "Helicon Focusing" I had my portfolio reviewed by George Lepp, and also attended one of his workshops. He loved my macro work and advised I should try this technique. Killer shot here!

This is an image that demands attention! Exciting colors and positioning makes this image a winner!

Cheers!

I understood the title... : P
Now that IS an amazing shot.
I know what you mean by their eyes always going every which way into la-la land. Actually reminds me of my little third graders. : P
It is certainly an unusual perspective of a chameleon's head and eyes.
Amazing sharpness and colors.... and a very creepy stare.
TFS. : )

Hello the Dude who loves Pizza ;-)
Wooooooooow ! For my comeback I discover with pleasure this outstanding close-up !!!
The "+++++" : original composition, strange subject, eyes expression, POV, sharpness, DOF, colors, exposure, useful complementary note...
The "-" : nothing...
Bravo my old friend and thanks for sharing,
Christian

Hi Paul,

Hey Dude who loves pizza!!!
This is one hell of a shot Paul!!!!!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like: "ANIMAL EXPLORER!!"
A unique shot of this fantastically coloured Chameleon.
Spectacular POV!
The tight crop is superb.
Excellent vivid colours, ultimate detail and the sharpness is perfect.
Great DOF and BG that emphasises the colours.
I'm going to make a new personal theme full of my new favourites...this will be the first entry.
Amaaaaaaaaazing shot!!
WELL DONE!!

Hope I wasn't too over-enthusiastic :D

Het Paul ! Another incredible shot of your Chameleons ! I'm just amazed of how you can get those colors so well. The composition is just striking, the sharpness is second to none and the overall quality of your image is outstanding. That picture merits every single point that it has already and every other points that it WILL have for sure. Congratulations !

Hi Paul, Wow just brilliant, excellent colours, POV, dof, just perfect I love it, Cheers Rick :)

Hi Paul,
I can't look too long at this photo. I am afraid I will do things that are beyond my control. It makes me go into a very deep trance looking at it. I can't say anything else than that is a very awesome photo. You've showed us many different and wonderful photos of these stunning creatures, but this one beats them all. Never seen such wonderful eyes, never seen such stunning details and colors.
TFS,
