Eye Front

Taken at the Miller Park Zoo. Chameleon was near the top of the display, and too dark without flash. Was able to remove the top of the exhibit and bounce flash into it. Considered cloning out the green plant on the left, but did not like how it looked.

Canon T3i
1/160 @ F-11 ISO 200
manual mode
Canon EF 100mm 2.8 macro USM
Flash, tripod

Wow, talk about a face only a mother could love. Good portrait of this handsome devil, John.

…lol….a face only a mother could love. And I would add, looks like a relative who will remain unnamed! Nice capture… I might have tried for a tad more dof to include the horns. What a beast!
