Real nice closeup of this beast. I think he looks quite old, but is he hungry I don't know. I'm glad you stayed way away when you took this shot.

He looks like his is big enough to make a few hand bags, and a lot of boots! LOL What a great capture, I really like your frame work too.

An excellent capture of Alan.De.Gator. Jimbo. Fantastic colour and detail in this beauty. When they get fat down here we have to shoot 'em. They are eatin' to many of the tourists. A fine job.

Whoa... can't say my first thoughts. : )Sweet details and pose. He looks like he isn't gonna move very fast. Kind of looks like Jaba on Star Wars... Excellent work!

Alan looks so friendly and harmless the way he lies there hugging the ground. Very nice shot Jimbob of this "handsome" fellow. The details are so clear.

He is certainly a beauty JimBob. Looks lazy and sleepy until he wants to move and they can really move fast. You've captured him very well and framed him nicely also.

Good shot of Alan Jim. Now let's tip toe on by so as not to wake him up. I hear he has a real bite when awakened with a start!

Super shot Jim. Gret clarity and color. Deserves a higher score I think. Looks like he wants a bit of Jim pie for lunch (with that evil grin and all.)
