WC#203 .......it's Back

Yup the Gitchee Gumme Sea Monster is back and still trying to take a bite out of the setting sun. With the weather we have had lately I think he may have eaten the whole thing. Actually I posted this earlier this year, I have since reworked it removing a pier from the BG and croping a bit tighter. :rolleyes:

I remember this! This is the perfect place for your sea monster! Great shot, I like it with the pier cropped out. He looks hungry....

OMG! I thought we erradicated this monster :eek: I can see from the red demon glow of his eye that he is back to take revenge. However, it looks as if he lost his teeth and the "Gumme" part of his name is very appropriate!:biggrin:

Seriously this is well seen and presented.

Thanks Alice yeah those monsters are always hungry.
Ed Thank you, I never even gave it any thought about the name I mean..... "Gitchee Gummy" I love it and glad you noticed. On the politically correct side Gumme is pronounced as Goomy, But I still like your idea much better, and it sure fits this little guy.
