The original had a flat range with dull orange/yellow hues. In the final composition you have done a geat job on the conversion from color to black and white...the dodge & burn really helped boast the dynamic range of tones such that they pop. The way you composed the shot too has strong bones with leading lines that travel from the top left to the bottom right which creates visual interest.

I feel that there's a bit too much going on in the frame. The train kinda blends into the background. I love the contrast. 7

I think with a little more D&B, this would have the depth you wanted it to have. It's still a nice edit. I didn't even see the little footprints till the after :)

Wow... I love how you highlighted the area around the croc without it looking cheesy.

Laffing at your description of polishing.. You brought the subject out well and would say just a wee bit dark but overall pretty good..

What stumps me is the end of the alligators tail.. Maybe not visible from this angle..
