No much at Wako this morning. This was gonna be a 5-frame stitched pano but I did not shoot wide enough so I went with the body alone and Fracted it. Last Used. Sorry :) Maybe Impressions 1.

intriguing patterns from the fract. Arthur.. I like how they're mirrored in the reflection as well. A strong comp. to start with, this turned out well :)
That really brings out the skin textures!
Artie, I really like the colors and textures. BUT your composition steals the show!!:p
Hi Artie, agree with the above on the composition... the curved back with rows of scale and layers of color, makes this a strong composition. Fract definitely brings out a different and pleasing texture.
Great image with lots of details to bring out the best in the program. Solid colour BG works well too, but my favourite part is the purple on the leg and the texture in general.
WD Artie.
Really cool effect and great idea to use frac on this. It's amazing how you can have an animal without a head and still evoke the feeling of such a strong powerful creature...now that's art...that "last used" in frac is driving me nuts since I have to flip through all of the them to find what I used last..guess I should write things down..Looking critically at this my only comment is that I wish there was a little more differential between the bottom (water) and the gator..maybe slight color or texture change...certainly nice as presented. I love the color and position of the leg.
This looks like a colored pencil sketch...only you could come up with this composition, love it...blues, golds, blacks...very nice
This really rocks as modern art! :D
Putting aside the source of the image, a gator body, the lines both straight and curved blend beautifully. The leg while not looking like a leg has a perfect roundness to complement the round tops of the scales and the blues lock it together.
What is the brown background?
The only change I would make is a tiny crop from the left to eliminate the partial scale - just a tiny tiny crop. I might even consider cloning some of the brown rather than doing a crop so as to balance the space between the right scale and the frame edge.
I have been watching all of this fractal stuff and I enjoyed reading Denise's tutorials and wandering through her website - thanks Denise! This is something I will experiment with when I return to Oz.
Cheers, Jay
