Had fun chasing my chameleon around for this one. My dad pointed out that it looks like a duck from one point of view... seems obvious to me now, but I had no clue about it after working on it for 2 hours:
NeatImage (for the plastiky look), Contrast enhancement, blue gamma shift on the chameleon to brighten you his yellow/green glow, cloned out few bad reflections on him, blued background. (All done using masks)

Wow! Cool shot. It took me a couple seconds to figure out what I was looking at. At first I thought it was a green scaley duck. Was that your intension?
Excellent texture and detail and color and light. The composition is confusing. I was looking at his hoody and thinking, what a nose! Is that what the title was about? I see, there's a bug on the hemp?
I'm going to say that this is absolutely horrible, I hope you get loads and loads of ones..... Only because it's better than mine :-(
So nice, brilliant colours, brilliant background.... too bloody brilliant! :-) Maybe could have done with a wee bit of unsharp mask to bring out some more details, but seriously though, well done! A very nice shot! 9
Very sharp, great colors. What is going on in the lower left portion of the critter? What is that sharp dividing line? oh... Must be his leg at a 90 degree angle.
The first (and second) time I saw this, I thought you might have used Pshop stuff. When I realized it was a creature - well disguised - it went from a 9 to a 10
WOW! This is great! Love the green of the chameleon against the blue back ground. Excellent clarity and great focus. Love this shot. One of my favorites so far. Good Luck!!!
Very sharp. The blue clouds (?) is okay but a darker background could have been better. But we cannot do anything about it. Great capture you have here.
Like the title, great dof, interesting subject, against the blue background he's easy to spot - perhaps shot against an object that he's designed to camafloge (spelling) against would increase the impace.
