While having dinner on the patio this gator decided to have dinner as well. Dinner and moving a competitor at the same time.

Sorry meant "removing a competitor."

Hardly competition; that's not more than a yearling slipping down his gullet! Other than that, I like this, It's a story starkly told. Photographically, it seems somewhat washed of color, and the white underside of the gator's neck is blown out. All easily cured with more saturation and less brightness. A strong catch and a straight on photo, nonetheless! :toast:

Agree about the blown out white, but what a great shot! Good timing on your part,bad timing for the small gator!
Would like to see this larger. Thanks for sharing.

FYI you do not have to post a correction; move-remove, if you need to make a change just click on edit and you can then change or update your info.
