Love the arts in all their forms: Fine Art, Music, Writing, etc. A traditional painter for many years, my introduction to painting on the computer came in 1999. As time goes by I find myself spending more and more time with my tablet and pen in hand. Guess I could have a worse addiction. Since the begining of 2006 I have immersed myself into the wonderful world of photography. I have learned so much in that time and feel ready to share my stuff with you now. I'm sorry I've been away so long, but stay tuned for a daily flood of my recent captures, :)
BIO
Hello everyone! My name is John Minelli.For as long as I can remember I have had a love of the arts in all of their forms and have been striving to be the be the best that I can be. Even though I have been creating art for many years, I still feel like an infant. I find it fascinating that every time that I pick up a brush, pencil or tablet and pen I still learn something new. Although I live in Savannah, GA, USA., I have a great love of Europe; especially Italy. I spent several years working in the Middle East and took several vacations in Europe. I fell in love with Rome and plan on going back to Italy as soon as possible.

They always seem to look so menacing ! Or maybe my morbid fear of them!!

I agree Danny..... usually anyway. I have another shot I took the other day an almost comical mood to it..... I'll post it tomorrow.

This is a superb capture...hopefully nobody makes a belt out of this guy. I love the texture here, the reptilian skin in contrast to the water-growth. Fantastic, natural color. Great close up detail as well. Super.

great shot and well composed, texture differnces between the gator and Lemma minor (duckweed) are particularly nice
GBCalls
Amazing! I can only imagine meeting one of these in person. None live in my area.

Wow, lucky he didn't run into you first.... Great shot. Aloha
MrsRatbag
I hope you didn't run into him literally! He looks quite menacing, but the duckweed seems to add a comic air to his disguise. Great capture!
Sea_Dog
Great shot! I wonder what he's thinking.
