    My last post before my trip to the Smokies This was taken at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm last week. Right before I was leaving the boardwalk I noticed these two gators having a meeting. I used Fractalius Slow Motion on them and masked the eyes back in.

    You certainly gave ordinary gators the glamor treatment! I think I would crop just below the diagonal water lines at the top as I like the strong parallel lines of the gators and the white reflections.
    Have a wonderful trip to the Smokies!

    If I look quickly at this and forget what you said about alligators, it looks like a beady-eyed frog coming at me. Nancy's cropping idea has merit, I think.

    Hi Cheryl, I had to look closely to see which eye was what eye and what eye was who, as Dr. Seuss might say. It does indeed look like one aggregate creature with those staring eyes! I think I'm liking the crop idea also. Different and cool!

    When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was one gator. Nice effects and composition. I know its probably just my eyes but a bit or CWR maybe?
