Perhaps not ruckus in the strictest sense of the word but this certainly captures a moment of conflict as detailed in the description. A great capture Ronnie, the timing is good and the poor crawfish̢۪s demise is perfectly illustrated. The water drops add a dynamic to the moment. I do feel there seems to be a bit of over saturation it detracts somewhat, the colours throughout would benefit from some subtle desat.

Great image of a great moment, I would prefer the noise to be filtered out a bit more.It doesn't say "ruckus" to me though as a viewer.

I love how you captured the action here, especially with the water droplets. It does look a tad over saturated or something to me. Very cool!

Another of your excellent ‘gator studies Ronnie. I love the reflections in his eye and the duplicated and reversed reflection of him in the water. Whilst it is perfectly acceptable to use symmetry for this type of image I prefer it using the upper third with the emphasis then placed on the calm waters refection. Other than that another lovely image.

Up to your usual high standard Ronnie another nicely captured alligator in its green mossy environment. Your title sums it up too, careful is the order of the day, its malevolent presence is a warning in itself, careful!

I like the creative use you have made of your wide angle lens here. Your human is isolated and key to the image as a whole and therefore, in my mind, fulfils the challenge brief well, a portrait doesn̢۪t always have to the obvious facial jobby. I like the way the lens has emphasised the tailfin, I also like your bold use of contre-jour, the backlit flag, the shadows, the rays, it all works well for me. I̢۪m sorry your entry didn̢۪t do much better for you Ronnie, thats the blind nature of the DPC beast sometimes.
