It is almost impossible to go out shooting and not being ask to take a picture of an alligator !!! Tourist have a fascination with Alis and when they spot someone with a big lens will say "Did you see the alligator" This particular one I did like and shot on my own at Athinga Trail in Everglades National Park !!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

The color is just awesome. I only wish for a slightly more symmetric orientation for the croc. He's just not quite straight which would really emphasize the abstract nature of the image. You might consider slightly rotating the image to get him perfectly straight.

Cheers

This fantastic image has a great "alienistic" (is there such a word?) quality to it. Combined with the beautiful warm colors it's more like a painting than a photograph. Wonderful job Al! :)

Really pretty. The first thing which caught my eye was that he was crooked.
