American Alligator - Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Florida, USA
EOS 10D, 500mm, 1.4x, 1/1250, f/8, ISO 200

The new motif immediately made me think of this image I took last spring in FLorida...

Great shot. Besides catching the mouth open I really like the patch of clear blue water in the foreground.

Excellent shot EJ. I was hoping we would get a gator or two here with the motif. Well done!

Beautiful!

I love those greens. I never thought of Alligators as vocalizing--what kind of noises do they make?

Dick--I take it your wife doesn't peruse this forum! :shock:
