Great shots, all. As I am sure you knew I would vote for Death Watches, Rib it Dude, Slowly and Sexy.
I prefer the first one to all the others by far. The high contrast processing really pulls the attention to the gator. I don't really like the other ones as much, with an exception of "Golden Eye" maybe.
Great conversions. Always LOVE your gator shots! "Death watches" and "Golden Eye" are my two favorites by far.
Thanks @barry13 for bringing this thread back for those of us who missed it the first time around! I would go Curiosity, Death Watches, Golden Eye, and Life Reflected in that order. But all are superb, and I really enjoyed them in B&W.
Hard to chose against Death Watches. All the fear of Crocs embodied in one image. After that, Careful, Rib It, and Vendetta.
Even if we are a little late... 1. Death watches: no need to explain. 2. Careful: i like the people in reflected in the eyes, it tells a story. And feels close! And texture. 3. Vendetta: texture and profile 3. Curiosity: flowing water
