Default Even camouflaging wont conceal you from a photogs eye...or viewfinder!!

Hi!! Good Day to DPS!!

Some days back i decided to go hunting (i mean the 'CLICK CLICK Hunting', not the 'BANG BANG' )and found this sneaky lil chamaleon trying to get a suntan in the bushes...or maybe waiting for the colors to dry for the camouflage look
Had to go down on the ground, stand up rather quickly, throw a stone on the other side to bring him back into view, move in slower than a snail (18-55 kit lens ), kneel down......AND FINALLY...I GOT HIM!!!

I'm really happy with how the shot turned out and that he actually posed for me. I cropped the photograph, sharpened it and did some minor color correction. I'd be more happier if he would have done some cool color change moves!! Hopefully someday ill find a chameyy thats color and camera friendly!!

Cheers!!
Zoheb.
