When I visited Florida in March last year, I was hoping to get some interesting action from the alligators in the Everglades. I didn't get a whole lot, but did manage to get a few shots of this guy bellowing. He was right at the water's edge near the Visitor's Center at Anhinga Trail, and drew a huge crowd, which made him nervous, but I did manage to grab something first.

I'm not sure I want to know what that bulge is in his mouth! Nice capture.

My girlfriend was falling into the water with my camera and my 300/2.8 in her arms. I could only grab her or the camera and lens.....I sure do miss her!
