Photographer's Note
Chameleons are squamates that belong to one of the best-known lizard families. The name "chameleon" means "Earth lion" and is derived from the Greek words chamai (on the ground, on the earth) and leon (lion).
I saw this chameleon on the deserts of Namibia (Swakopmund) and our guide had to feed this lucky chameleon with lots of those black bugs till I shot this "decisive moment". But finally I did :)

Hello Tidil.
Catching that moment must be hard because they are so fast with their tounge. I like the colours even if I think they are a bit dull. Good POV and good to have som plants in the picture as well.
I did a WS where I changed light and contrast. Hope you will like it.
Now I read your not and saw that you had more than one chance to get this photo, but it's still a good catch.
Regards
Per
