Thank you. It really means a lot to hear this. :-)

Day becomes Night

For sure.
i wasn't hoping for just shock and awe, that was just how i wanted to make people pause.
i did like the stark qualities of the image juxtaposed over what should be a serene landscape, the harsh daytime sky reflected in negative (night) in the lake.

I really wanted to put forth something that would make people think about what they were seeing as more than just pixels on the screen and a snapshot of a place.

I was shocked how very easy this was to accomplish, and after getting a delayed "huh...." resection from my wife, i knew i had succeeded in doing what i hoped for.

Glad this acted as intended.
to me, art makes you stop, it demands you inspect it.
it is not always pretty, and it does not always require lengthy exploration, but it isn't something to be glossed over.

Alligator Shoe Salesman, first step - select the right gator...

For those wondering, the gator is no longer living, and has been turned into a statue. I took another picture with my son's hand in the gator's mouth, "feeding" it a rock, but it was pretty blurry due to the speed with which he got away from the gator. And yes, this is very much a shoehorn, I titled it in a way that some should pick up on that :)

for a laugh, I showed this image to my mother-in-law immediately upon our return, I think I almost gave her a heart attack.

given the fact shots like this have taken the blue before, there's a distinct possibility this could end up in the 6.65 range I predict
