    Hi All,
    Wasn't sure whether to post this in wildlife or macro, as this was shot with my 500 II & 1.4X TC on a 7D I am posting here. Well this was a wild chameleon I clicked at Kabini River, KA, India. Handheld!

    Hi Sanjeev - for me this is one of your best! Love the pastel color palette. Sharp where it matters and excellent detail. I like the comp too. Congrats!

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev very nice frame ; meanwhile you are able to achieve very good results with 7D , wonder where that comes from .
    Like this all around with good tones /colors and sharpness .
    I might think about adding a curve for more tonal depth in the 1/4 tones of the subject.

    Ps : this is not a Chameleon , it should be a Garden Lizard , think it is Calotes versicolor with it scientific name.And guess it is either a an adult female or young male .

    TFS Andreas

    Thanks Rachel, Gregor & Andreas. Appreciate your comments and feedback. Andreas, thanks for correcting me, I was not at all sure of ID, just took a wild guess :-)

    Lovely image - can only agree with above comments. For me, I would like more below and less above, but that's just me.

    I agree with all above, great BG and detail for this interesting reptile. I would be interested to see a little more room on the right and less on the left, just me tho.

    This is great with the sharpness and the details in the face and that fabulous eye! Love the close-up view you achieved! I wouldn't change a thing.
