beautiful detail/texture on the chameleon. Since I know how terribly difficult these shots are I must commend you on the clarity of this. People forget that the glass is often dirty, streaked, and reflection ridden. I'll bet this was inside also, doubling the frustration of trying to get a great pic. Excellent work!

great picture with excellent detail in the camel. Might I suggest you clone out the 'spots' in the upper right? :) My eye went to that first, believe it or not. I think the timing for the camel was excellent.

Wow. Your cropping/POV really plays up to his size. Wish the national zoo had grizzleys. You'd never get me away. Perfect timing and positioning. I love the zoo. Most difficult part is overcoming the background (fences, fake rocks, etc). You did a great job with this one.

Cool. Smooth. Refreshing.

There's no way this is your first ribbon. Seriously. Well, DPC is what it is. Congrats! And Blue no less. Woohoo! Its been a long time coming and you deserve it. Should have had one a long time ago. This isn't your best image nor is it my favorite but it is the best and most perfect for the challenge and I'm glad everyone saw that. Congrats again!

Under rated. I still love it. Guess it takes a strange sense of humor. :)

everyone's a critic. I still love this, still think its beautiful. Also think it was underrated. Course, its not a sunset or a beach or a pretty woman's face. :)

don't like merri-go-rounds. The horses scare me. ;) Yours is pretty cool though. :)
