gator and reflections

[Myer Bornstein]

The reflections of the foliage surrounding the gator looked interesting. I played with Topaz Adjust 4 and Viveza to give me a surrelistic look

Myer, I like the dark mysterious look you have created. I think the gator could be a little lower in the frame. I might lighten the eye area just a bit more. Very nicely done.:)

Denise, Thanks for the comments, muchly appreciated. Here is the repost. I am sitting by my computer as it ius pouring outside, here in Massachusetts, the streams are overflowing. I may try for some scenics with everthing in raingear

Nice image and application, Myer.

Like the repost.

Hope the gators aren't coming out of the streams up there! :D

Myer, The repost looks good.

Myer,

THe recrop was the way to go. I will almost always place them lower or higher in the frame depending upon the reflections (how good they are) and which way the gator is facing diagonally.

I am now taking my hammer, nails and wood to build my ARK :D

Myer, I like the patterns in the water very much. Hope that your Ark is built by now...:eek:
