Bull 'Gator

[Cindy Cone]

Love to hear the 'gators bellow. This was at Corkscrew yesterday. (The birding's great there, too.) I'm wondering if the leaves in the water are too distracting.

Cindy,

More than the leaves, which are OK with me, is the image seems to be a bit soft, or perhaps it might be a curves adjustment to bring the contrast more in line. I like your choice of pose. the head out of the water is fresh approach. I definitely think your idea bears more efforts to try once again. I never made it to Corkscrew. Please keep posting and trying. Just my 2 cents worth. :)

I agree that a bit moe contrast would help a lot. I like the eye. The leaves are OK with me.

I like the way the dark water really brings out the subject. The leaves do not bother me.
