My chameleon's back! Well, at least his tail is...
"Sometimes, Nature offers beauty of such perfection it would seem impossible that it was created by chance. This chameleon's spiraled tail shows the work of a divine mathematician and artist."

NeatImage; Gamma reduction, extra Red Gamma reduction for incandescent light compensation; unsharpen at radius 4 (maybe a bit too much, but I like the "feel" it gave)

Excellent composition, great demonstration of texture - object lesson in lighting, really. The rhythm of this allows for a near central composition very well, and to top it all the colour is wonderfully demonstrated. About halfway through, and this is probably the best so far.

+ The contrast between light and darkness is good, textures are interesting just like the composition.
- Can't really think of any. Perhaps a negative point is that is has been done before.
Im not sure if you planned it to be this way, but it seems as if the right side of the shot is a little out of focus, perhaps using a narrower aperature, or holding the camera parallel to the tail would make it sharper.
Omigod - this looks like a snake, but is it? I hate snakes! Nevertheless, the composition and capture of texture and color are well done. Would prefer it rotated clockwise 90 degrees.
WOW!!! I love the colors and focus here! Nicely done! The only thing I would improve is the blurry part in the bottom-right hand side. Other than that, a near perfect shot in my book! I love how it leads your eyes!
