Good photo of this big guy (gal?). I presume not taken from in the water? In Florida I walked with 15 feet of a seven foot alligator, all the time telling my wife, "Its not real. They put this thing here to scare us Northerners." She replied, "The eyes are following you!"

Wonderful subject, but for me the further I am from your subject the happier I am.

Indeed. Why should Nature change perfection. Very clever thinking, Lynn.

Funny how you never smile at a crocodile but he smiles at you ;0)

He does look prehistoric. Great composition and exposure to make the water sparkle. V.
