Canon R7; Tamron 150-600 lens.
f/7.1; 1/1000; ISO-400.
I was standing some distance from an area where many watsonias were flowering.  I thought that singling out one set of blooms with a telephoto lens might make an interesting photograph.  It was only when I edited the photograph that I noticed that there was a Knysna Dwarf Chameleon on the flowers. Taken at George Botanical Gardens, George, Southern Cape, South Africa.

Crisp and love the colors.
Bonus with the Chamaeleon.
How large...or small...would he be?

Small. This is quite a young chameleon which measures about 6cm.

A great study in color- beautiful oranges, and the chameleon is a nice bonus. Somehow it blends even as a different color. The eye works as an orange match!

Great capture of the chameleon on a beautiful perch.
