I was visited by this fellow while laying on my back on a dock. I trimmed just a smidge from the bottom to cut rather than clip the feet, which were hidden by a pylon anyway.

Excellent exposure Jim and I love the stare he is giving you. I do not usually like clipped feet but in this case it works for me as this really tells a story, especially with your background info. Looks like Florida treated you well and vice versa !!
Jim for a few seconds I debated about whether or not so much sky was distracting. In the end the intense stare made my decision. Your eyes can't help but be drawn to that look. Thanks for sharing.
Well done but needs a CCW rotation. You could ruler either the eyes or the legs....
later and love and thanks again for joining us on the IPT. artie
