 It was totally intentional to show how a Chameleon can blend in its' front hands with the tree.

This was taken at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, which has a "Rain Forest" and "Desert" climate, under a 2-story geodesic domed structure.

I agree with the comments. In the past comments said my photos were too, dark, so I went the other direction. My .TIF files are always more color-correct on the computer monitor.

Too little in focus. It was hard for me to tell what it was right away.

Overhead lighting is too harsh, which has washed out the colors and details. Try shooting at a different time of day, or use something to diffuse the light.

Can't even tell where it's leg ends! Don't know how you get more contrast with a chameleon, but this image doesn't really "pop" for me.

This looks over exposed to me, I think it would benefit from lower exposure and slightly higher contrast.

Wow looks like you have a very bright flash. A little overexposed.
