Greetings from the Critique Club!

Delightfully creepy, there is something so primitive and malevolent here, and helps that the hide around the eye contrasts so well with the glassiness of the eye. Pity it came in so low, I think voters were expecting to see more flip'n'blend, as many are quite elaborate. The pp seems a little heavy for you, but sometimes a challenge like this calls for a little more in the post tricks area. I still like this one just fine :-) Trying to figure out if it's the lighting or pp but the purpley areas on the gator really give me the chills for some reason.

Keep up the good work and be careful around them big swamp critters!

Susan
