    A very nice image, Robert. Very "artistic looking" composition. Looks almost serene.

    I like this, very simply but effective. There being hardly any ripples in the water combined with the soft light makes this look very peaceful.

    I like the lines of the composition here and think the pano is very effective. I agree that the soft light and calm water really makes it work well.

    For me the clincher is the silvery water tones. It compliments and offsets the gators. The pillow tail has some water line marks, very nice, and the reflection of the underside is icing on the cake. Good exposure and very nice overall composition.

    Robert,
    I love this one. I remember you posting a vertical image of an aligator trying to swim towards you. I can see a train of thought. I love the sense of peace that has been captured here. I came back to this forum after few weeks as official work, conservation efforts and photography took precedence over everything else. Felt nice when I saw this image. Thanks for sharing.

    Excellent. You've done an exceptional job on the exposure to give this photo the silvery look and tranquil feel it has. Composition is superb.

    Nice image. I like the overall color and the way the repeating pattern of the gator's skin breaks up the smoothness of the water.

    Outstanding - I love the fact that you can barely tell that they are in water - looks prehistoric.

    Very artistic, Robert. Love the diagonal lines (and there are lots of them). Great image.
