This was a seven foot alligator. I now know that it 'lives' where I was taking pictures of it and I've been back twice more to get more shots.

Wow!!! Definitely deserves this finish. BTW, good to see that nobody dared give you a score below 4. Glad to see that the trolls missed this one.

Great shot. Included not too much or too little, but perfectly composed to convey the message.

I like your choice of framing and the smoke seemingly coming out of the frame.

Level your horizon and use the largest image size allowed within the rules to increase your score.

It's sooooo important to level your horizons as I'm sure others have commented also.

Very interesting location for a wedding shot, I like it. The couple doesn't seem very interested in each other however. The reason I chose to comment on this photo out of the numerous entries is because of the bright skies in comparison to the rest of the image. Very difficult to reconcile the differences in brightness, you adjust for one and you lose the other. My suggestion is to use a graduated neutral density filter when you take the shot, probably a hard edge filter in this case. It will help to even out the differences in brightness to more manageable levels. Having more detail in the clouds and a deeper blue to the skies would have greatly benefitted this image. Other that the filter that I have alreadly mentioned, a polarizing filter would also help if you didn't already use one for this shot. - 7
