Lots of alligators and crocodiles in the wild in Florida, of all sizes. This very large one, however, was at Busch Gardens, Tampa. Some editing was done to remove portions of another alligator who was cluttering up the shot. See the smile? He wants you to pat him on the head. I'll just stand back here while you do that.

Oh, I saw this fellow in the Everglades in December. Guess he packed his bags and went looking for a photo op. Good job.

Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today's a gift. That's why it's called the present.
Great capture!!!..If you did any editing, no one would know it unless you said so (like you did..LOL)...but that's one of the important character makeups of a good digital photo "Guru"...
Oh...and one more thing! If that gator wants ME to pat HIM on the head...you just tell him...he can FORE-GETT it!

Nothing but a walking mouth, these things are, yeesh. Great capture though. Did you zoom in for this? Or was this one of the little disposables you have to lean waaay in for. Well, you lived to post it so I guess that answers it. Thanks for sharing this :-)

Now that there is a big ole gator. I don't think I'll be touching him. I fear that he might touch me back. :) Nice photo nonetheless.

hehe... This is a sight I haven't seen in a while. My uncle lives in Florida..
and he has a river running right through his back yard. The alligators like
to rest there. *smiles*

"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."- "I wish the Ring had never come to me.
I wish none of this had happened..." "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."-Gandalf
Great photo.... and he's a fat boy too! Hmmm... makes you wonder what Busch Gardens does with the small juicy mammals they no longer keep on display! *gasp*
Relax, I'm kidding.. (hopefully). Love the photo though... and I can't see any editing!

If you chose to walk away, I'd still be right here waiting.
Wow! Down big boy-he's quietly waiting for a meal to walk by-gulp! Great photo opportunity. Good clarity and to the point. Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing him :))

Wonder who his dentist is...er...was. You really captured this primeval, living nightmare at his most photogenic!

without a sense of humor, I'd have no sense at all.
it looks as though he's eaten one of his mates and is digesting them atm :)
