    I shot this at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm several years ago. I used Fractalius Slow Motion and then Topaz Adjust 5 French Countryside to darken the blues a bit.
    Thanks for looking.

    This was a wonderful capture, Cheryl, and I like what you've done with it. The white and yellow against the blue is quite striking. The Fractalius glow seems to radiate an electric feeling that seems appropriate. The mottled background adds to the excitement, but I wonder about subduing the green and black in the lower right a bit. In any case, it's a great image.

    Did you ever notice that it looks like the two heads are attached to one body?

    Maybe your two headed can get together with my three headed Heron and join
    forces?

    I agree with Dennis about the lower right hand corner.

    Cheryl, great job with this one. I love the poses and the effect applied. Dennis makes a great suggestion.

    Thanks, Dennis (glad you're back), Doug (a five-headed Egron) and Denise. I think I'll just evict the green/black spot. It was the top of a bush.

    Clever title and image. Does look two headed. I like the processing work, the gorgeous blue, and evicting the LRC.

    Love the opposition of the two heads. Was that natural? Rich blues!

    Great poses you captured, and nice color and fract filtering, Cheryl. Love your title. Good suggestion above about lower right.

    Hi Cheryl, getting caught up on some of the images I have missed, so sorry for being late to the party. For some reason this one reminds me of Siamese Twins. Love the fract work and the interaction between these two is wonderful!
