Almost Got Away

This Garfish put up a valiant effort, and for that I hoped it would get away, but in the end the gator won.
In this image the gator is more recognizable than in the first post, where some of the comments mentioned not enough gator.

Great timing on this capture. Both you and the gator

I like the action, the comp and the exposure! Good work.

What a great action shot Wayne :^) More used to seeing birds with fish in their beaks so this makes for a pleasing change, though of course not so pleasing for the Garfish of course ;^)

Well managed exposure and great detail/stop action
