This was shot in the bright sun (no clouds that day) at Cypress Gardens, SC, near Charleston. It's a natural cypress swamp, typical of the area.

Very well done. I like the position of the alligator in the frame. Looks like it really fits in the environment, which of course it does! I like the overall colors of this shot. The larger image is very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Love the comp and you did a great job with the bright light. You made it look like a cloudy day.

This is a very appealing habitat image Wick. Excluding sky or shore worked miracles here and the white flower is the finishing touch.
