Mid-morning Gator.

[Jim Bridges]

Alligators are common where I shoot and this is one I got a while back. I cropped and messed with the levels and curves until it was this color and saved it. This is the BG on my computer screen :D

Interesting composition, Jim. If not for the eye, I would think this of an rock or island in Mars! I can appreciate it the longer I look at it. Good thinking.

I like the colors, especially of the water. If you hadn't told me it was a gator, I wouldn't have known--maybe a bit too abstract for me.

[Hazel Grant]

Funny.....at first I thought you were doing a re-create of the big eye in the contest. Interesting gater, though.

[Kerry Perkins]

Hey Jim, this gator has an interesting aura... Good use of adjustment layers. I would be tempted to crop a little from the bottom, so there is more room on top.

[Jay Sheinfield]

I think its cool. The backbone ridge, popping out of the water, makes this for me......................agree with Kerry on the crop................

[Patti Edens]

Very cool Jim! Looks like the creature from the red lagoon to steal a phrase.
