Chameleon Eats Mantis

****

What can I say. Wonderful image. Please tell me you just wondered across this scene in the wild and had your camera ready when the moment presented itself. In the meantime, I'll give it a good rating under the assumption that it is not too contrived.

A beautiful capture!Compliments!

Thanks. Jim, I wish I could tell you I was in Madagascar recently and shot this in the wild. The background is a scene I bought at the pet store that is meant to be put on the back wall of a terrarium. It's taped to a board less than a foot behind the chameleon. All set up in my studio. I normally use a wall or the spray painted sky background for shooting him, but thought I'd try this. Wasn't sure if it looked too busy or not. It's getting close, imo.

Very interesting and high quality capture!

Regards! Hanan
