What a great shot...for an old....skuze me...elderly woman. I got all excited when I saw this but the after close scrutiny noticed that none of your arms or legs hanging out of it's mouth. *tears closet apart looking for the Gator chum* Hold on don't go away...I want a shot of you next to the Gator.

I'm happy to hear things turned out well for you & the gator. I love his/her pose & the detail is wonderful. Excellent capture Pat. Into my fave's it goes.
Wonderful detailed image Pat. It's a pity that there still people who behave themselves as you described in your narrrative. To me this gator is a beauty in its own way and this should be respected.

Pat... you are getting to close to these gators, I am starting to worry about you. It looks like the gator is eye balling for lunch. Be careful out there. Great focus and close up, too close...
Well some people have no respect for wild life and nature as evidence of what you witnessed while getting this GREAT shot!!. It is a terrific capture of this magnificient creature. Although I havw never seen a LIVE alligator from what I have read they donot have good eyesight and so one could approach them from the rear...gerry

Hi Pat! You did wonderfully with this shot, I am not so sure I would have wanted to get onto the same grass as one of these lol. Thank goodness there are none here!

GRRRR! People like that REALLY irritate me. This is a great shot though. I expirence people like that in the national forest by where I live too. Its amazing how people lack respect for nature these days. Its neat that you have these guys running around where you live. =)
You got one great shot off before the intrusion.Was this guy a poacher or someone trying to come between you and gator hoping to save you from the jaws?
