Chameleon On Dog

Great shot!  Has Heidi learned "lizard love" too? …Mike 

Excellent!

amazing, by all accounts!

Thanks everybody.

No Mike, I feel pretty confident that Heidi will never have a lizard on her head.:) She's just a little too high strung and does little quick moves with her head even when sitting still being obedient. I literally have nothing to worry about with Winston. I just tell him to stay still and then I can focus all of my attention on the chameleon and managing the shot.

Don't know if you've seen this- maybe you know about it

sticky spit is what makes it work!!

Yeah, definitely sticky. I've had them miss the prey in my hand a couple of times and their tongues stuck to my hand.

Scott -- You certainly got it all together in this shot:  composition, detail and sharp focus in the important areas, and capture of the critical moment.  If I had taken this, I'd be looking for photo contests in which to enter it.  Congratulations!
