Into the light A chameleon in the Tsingy forests at night hides in the shadows. Chameleons are not night creatures, therefore you'll often find them sleeping after sunset, awaiting the sun of the next day to heat their cold-blooded bodies.

    Wow, Ferdy, in thumbnail mode I was in the Shire, hiding under some tree roots! Wow, fascinating composition, beautiful selective colouring. A definite favourite for me! Cold blooded, I did not think of that. That's why it did not hide when you took your 105mm shot up close. Thanks for sharing that info.

    In short: thanks for sharing this beauty!

      It's never too late! Madagascar easily is the most memorable country we ever visited, and we visited a few spectacular ones already. Posted 11 years ago

      Thanks, man. I have to admit that looking back at this old photo, it embarrasses me a bit. The selective coloring is too obvious as well as sloppy. Seems needless too.
      May take me a while to find the original, given the age of the photo.       Posted 7 years ago

        Ah com'on son! The processing is great. Sometimes looking back over old photos allows us to see changes in our outlook on life and where we are vs where we have been over the years in style. I think this shot has a lot of potential and it would be cool to see how you reprocess it differently today, if at all different. Posted 7 years ago

          Fair point! Whenever I'll find it, I'll reprocess it and send you both the original and processed version :) Posted 7 years ago
