Beautiful image. Only thing I'm not fond of is the haloing on the right.

I love what you did. Not really google street view style, so 1 point off for that.

Behind the Veil

I gave you a 7, and am surprised you didn't score higher.

- Great catch lights in the eyes
- Perfect focus
- Really good colors

If I have to find flaws, I think it would be
- The vertical orientation can be hard to score well with. Sometimes cropping so it's not so vertical can help
- I don't like eye liner. Everything else feels natural about this.

Great comments!

I really do see what you mean about that tighter crop. That helps a lot.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

What stuck out to me as I voted, and even more as I see the original, is the unrealistic clouds. The lights and darks simply don't add up.
I like that you cropped the bottom, but you cropped a little too much. That big rock ad the end of the rock is slightly chopped off, and looks better if we can see some water in front of it.
The colors in the trees are really dull. Try turning up the brightness of yellows, and the leaves will start to pop.

The focus on the eyes is great. But it would be even better if the nose was in focus.
I like the black and white, it works well with the detail.
Seems like if you crop the bottom closer to the gator, that would put even more attention on the beast.

Upon second look, I like this slightly more.

The base photo being out of focus cannot be helped with the texture, I'm afraid.
