Description
I decided to start a series called Puzzler. Oftentimes our brains have a difficult time identifying object seen in an unfamiliar way. Thought I'd start out with a fairly easy one for you all. :)

Wonderful,
Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.
I feel I should know what this is but it's boggling my mind. :D Some reptile? Great work! :)
Hmmm, if this is easy, there is no hope for me on future uploads. But I'm having fun guessing, and I love the photo. I look forward to more puzzle pictures.
Yes, it is a reptile.
I think this might be an alligator? Having seen many of them down here in Naples I know looks are so deceiving when there are many reflections in the still water.
Bingo! congrats on the ID.
You had me. I thought it was a leaf in a water stream, held against the current by the trapped branch to which it is attached. Only by rotating the photo 45 degrees clockwise do I begin to see an alligator, and its reflection, and what must be a cloned background. So I'll be ready for the tricks next time! Go ahead, try to fool me, it might be easier than you think!
no cloned background. just rotated the shot.;)
Fascinating. I guessed reptile, but it still defeats me even though I now know!
