No teeth in this one, and not the right angle for pretty, shiny water, but a little orange passenger. All feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Barbara, I think this is a neat gator image! Having the head half in and half out of the water pleases me for some reason. IMNO the smaller image is the best, it may just be my monitor but the larger image looks too contrasty. Thanks for sharing.

Barbara,

I really like this shot. My eye is drawn to the beautiful color you have here, with the blue of the water contrasted with the warm orange/yellow tones on the gator's skin. Great detail in the eye, nice textures, and the dragon fly is an added bonus. Well Done!

Well done, Barbara. I like the exposure, the quality of the light and the bonus of the hitchhiker.
