entry description
The eyes of the chameleon provide 360 degree vision due to unique eye anatomy and an ability to transition between monocular and binocular vision. This ambush predators are famous for their camouflage techniques. It is hard to find them into the jungle. Using a hide I was able to get closer to her but her full body was not visible. And I did not make any movement. So that she don't get disturbed and flee from the place. Only few portion of head in between the shrub was visible from my lens. So I took only her eye when catch light was on it. And got this beautiful lush green frame. This shot was taken during a Indian Chameleon behavioral study project including hunting techniques, territory fight, mating, breeding, hatching etc. . I was very lucky to capture few rare moments during this project about very interesting and mysterious facts about Indian chameleon.about the photographer
