Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. HOLY COW talk about getting up close and personal!!! Geez! That is about as close as I want to get to this gator. Even though it makes most uncomfortable with the proximity, one can't help but appreciate the details in this reptiles eye. I never knew that there was such interesting patterns within. I also want to mention that you captured some wonderful detail in the skin that shows off all the rough scaly texture perfectly. Now the critique (Ah, man does she have to be so picky!!:-) ) is that it might be a little too close in that it is becoming more of an abstract or exporation of shapes and textures rather than a really cool close-up of an animal. I think those details could still be played up like they are here but just pulll back a tad to get a bit more of the mouth or even some teeth to further strengthen the identity of the animal being captured on 'film'.
