About the Image(s)
“Gacha…” is a blending of my granddaughter and the St Augustine, Florida Alligator Farm and alligator model. I am sure you have done blending. I simply toned down the bright spots. Sorry, the originals are elsewhere. The Florida Alligator Farm is a great, no, it is the best place to photograph birds between April and June. If you can plan a trip, you will not regret it. Let me know when you are coming.

I don't know if I'd be smiling in her position. haha

Cute, humorous and creative. Brings to mind a King Kong comparison -- innocent beauty and the beast, but I don't think this scene is headed for the Empire State Building! Strangely enough this also reminds me of how gators move their hatchlings around the swamp -- in their mouth... Fine job of compositing. And yes, the Alligator Farm is a tremendous spot for photographers. I've been there a few times and would also recommend a visit to nearby St Augustine. Posted: 10/11/2026 22:15:26

This is simply scary, but stellar! The angle of the gator's jaws frame your granddaughter perfectly. The lighting is spot one. The blend is done flawlessly. It is very realistic! Well done!! Posted: 10/25/2026 16:07:49
