    Re: Alligator

    Not a view I'd like to see without a long telephoto !

    Shame about that prominent plant just right of centre leading up the the eye.
    The other plants and twig I can live with, but that one is obtrusive to me.
    But no way would I go and 'garden' it with my swiss army knife with that alligator about !

    Re: Alligator

    Yes and no, because the head-on view is FAR better than this slight angle.
    To be honest, I prefer the original composition far more.

    The plant is now not in front of the eye, but it's still a little distracting.
    Do you have one from a step further left?
    Maybe it'd better with the plant to the right, curving towards the alligator.
    Or just edit the original and tone down the colour/brightness.
    I think it caught the flash more than some of the other vegetaton.

    I find nature getting in the way is terribly hard to spot in the viewfinder.
