Failed Camouflage?

Just as well really as it could have met a sticky end crossing the road.

Taken in typical Etosha light, I had jumped out of the car (very naughty) but could not get low enough before "visitors"arrived.:2eyes2:

Ken - I once saw one of these on the road in Chobe and it had the same coloration while in the middle of the sandy road. Good choice on the pano. There seems to be a bit of a halo or s/h adjustment visible around the nose and along the back in places.

Neat shot Ken. Looks like a high speed freeze shot with him looking back to view his pursuer. I suppose it happened at a much slower pace though:bg3:.

Hi Ken

Nice shot of this little fella.good IQ,comp,detail,color, sharpness,DOF.

Ps. It is pretty hard to lay down on these gravel roads.

Cheers Andreas

Rachel,
As always no s/h used, must be the extremely white patches of stone as seen in the BG made more noticable by being nearer the contrasting coliurs of the Chameleon.

Steve,

it certainly was not moving at a great pace
:w3
Andreas,
The roads are even worse if you kneel on them:bg3:
