    Bill, I like the pano crop and the sharpness of the image from side to side. (And of course, the dragonfly.) The tone mapping looks very good. I've always thought alligators looked funny with that big bulbous nose at the end.

    Nice work! That's good light on the gator. Looks cool with the dragonfly on it.

    Really cool image Bill! That would make a really nice print. I like how the crop makes the eye stay on the subject, and that eye really gets the viewer's attention. The dragonfly adds an element of the unexpected, which adds interest. Good one!
