I had two ideas for this round (well...I had a third but wasn't able to make the trip to get it) and of course I cannot decide which to enter. :scratch

As suggested, I have cropped the Mammoth photo and found a couple of other possibilities from that day.

#1 Cropped version of previously posted image

2. Same image, slightly different processing

4. Different view

5. Different view

6. This is my other option--Underwater view of a partially submerged alligator.

I'm also searching for a title--especially if I go with one of the mammoth shots. I like the mammoths because they are different, but I sort of feel like the underwater gator fits the theme better???

Please help me!! I'm begging & I am appreciative!

Thanks,
Sherry

    I like the processing of #1. Maybe "Unearthed" or "Uncovered" for a title.

    I also like the colors in #1, but think that #3 shows more detail because it's lighter but has a very similar coloration - like it! Probably would clone out the red dots (assume they are markers?).

    As far as the theme, I think because the dinosaur bones were/are located underground, and especially because they are shown only partially unearthed, that it fits the theme well. Maybe a title of "What Lies Beneath" or "Found Underground" or "Bones Below"?

    The thing I don't like about the alligator shot is no head - even though that's the kind of alligator I wouldn't be afraid to meet!! :D

    Thank you both! Funny that I had not noticed the grid markers before your comment, and now I wonder how I missed that. I guess I was to worried about getting the white signs out of the picture. That is an easy fix though.

    I now also get why the alligator shot hasn't worked. Gee, I was so proud of getting that reflection just right...getting decent color...and getting decent focus underwater. It would have been so much nicer to have the head in the shot, too.

    Thanks for the suggestions for a title also. Coming up with a name is always hard for me.

    Thanks again.

    I vote for #3 with Lillian's suggestion of "What Lies Beneath" as the title!
