Like the composition; it's an interesting image to explore. Water looks very metallic.

"They Wanna Know Who Peed in the Pool?"

Good Lord, they're all headed for you!!! Seeing all those eyeballs staring at me would creep me out pretty badly if I were that close. That's an insane number of gators in one place! It's no wonder they're eating each other with that amount of crowding. I actually feel sorry for them. Do they ever trap and move them on the basis of crowding, or do they wait till a gator eats a pet or small child before doing something?

It does look like a pincushion flower (and those are pretty cool flowers). Hope your heat wave breaks soon; I've been reading about some truly horrendous temperatures down there.

He looks quite well fed, doesn't he? Awesome beastie.

Under the Tree

Oh, yeah; love the birds, especially as the one deer seems to be having a conversation with one ;-) Very cool shot that nicely emphasizes the many positions of the deer. As a regular shot it would probably look very busy but this processing is a great way to present it. Very clever!

The big clumps of grass balance out the shot nicely, giving it some depth despite the extra wide crop. Very cool to see this and think that it's a commonplace sight for some folks; I'd be excited out of my mind to see it!

Monarch Majesty

Nice detail and color. The orange of the Monarch and the purple of the aster are a nice combination. Bugs and flowers sometimes get underappreciated because so many of us choose them as subjects. I tend to appreciate them more because I know how hard it can be to get a good one!

It does look a little cartoonish, and the soil looks sort of pink. My first thought was that it all seemed a bit surreal. Which can be a fun look to play with.

Looks like he was using those branches to scratch his back ;-) Nice detail on him.

Oh, nice, especially given your shooting conditions ;-) Good thing your models were patient!
