This chameleon was enjoying the warm sun when I interrupted him.  His look says it all!

The look from the chameleon is great, Ry.  I also like how it's colors match what it's standing on.  The iridescent blues in the perch seem strong.  If your processing with software that will let you desaturate the blues selectively, toning down a bit would be good.  I do like your comp. and the details in it's skin.

This is a great capture Ry!  The look does indeed say it all!  Excellent detail, comp and perspective, and the black background really makes it pop.  I agree with Mark about the saturation of the blue color, but otherwise this is very nice.

Love this - that look is certainly not happy with being disturbed. 
Really nice detail and comp. I agree to tone down the blue channel.
