Haven't posted much lately.
As always there's a nice variety of images in this gallery.

Here's a couple slick looking characters from the Everglades.

Cool image Wayne. I like the "pose" the three are giving and the different size of each one creates a neat comp. I think I like the photo a tad more with the top gator either cropped or cloned out. Just my thoughts though, not many gators for me to photograph here. :smile:

Here is the solution to the problem of how to compose a long horizontal croc or alligator...add several more! :wink: You did a good job getting some necessary depth of field with f/9. I am not certain about the individual that is going away...I might prefer him to be lined up with the others or maybe coming to the camera rather than showing only his backside.

Very interesting shot. IMHO the top, larger gator adds some perspective to the image. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Wayne,
I like the radial lines and emanating rings. I wish the top gator weren't so perpendicular to the others. :wink:

Well done!
Neil

The little guy at the bottom is killin' me! He's so cute....his head almost looks too big for his little body haha and as usual Alligators always have that "permanent smile" so they all look perfectly content haha
