This was one of digitalnuts challenges last week. I thought it would try my new CS4 out.

Smudging is when you take the smudge tool in Photoshop and brush the image creating a brushstroke effect. In Photoshop CS4 you can now rotate the canvas. This ability to rotate the canvas lets you stroke the image from any angle. If you liked the sketch this is a great feature. If you smudge our draw, CS4 for you.

Here’s a couple of alligator I shot on Tuesday. Both were photographed in the Swanee River wildlife management area. usually when the gators sees you it goes underwater. This one got up walked over and slid into the water and swam over to me. And then he climbed out of the water on my side of the pond and walked towards me. It reminded me of a puppy that was happy to see its master. Somebody had been feeding this guy. Which by the way is a legal. It’s not only dangerous for humans but it’s dangerous for the gators as well. They associate humans with food and if they become a nuisance are a danger there destroyed. There’s also a hefty fine if caught feeding alligators.
