Myakka Gator
Just another shot during my trip to Myakka state park,Florida last November.This fella was just crusin and kept his eye on me all the time.
Canon 40D with 100-400 IS l 4.5 lens
taken at 400mm f20 (I know this is strange but I was still getting the feel of the camera)
ISO 400 @ 1/100 sec
Shot in RAW and converted in Lightroom with slight tweaks in CS2

Interesting shot Richard.
I've just realised -it took a while to work out which way he was going !
Cool.

Scary aren't they? A bit of cw rotation I think.

Agree with Eric - bit of CWR - and perhaps a re-crop to pano might work well :wavey:

A bit more saturation too and this will be a cracker - great subject and capture Richard :toast:

Hi Richard,

He was probably keeping an eye on his dinner! :biggrin:

Lovely capture! A pano crop may work quite well!

Now there was me thinking that you were going to post an image based on your recent thread instead we get an exotic. :biggrin:
I too was thinking in what direction is it going. :toast:

Major.
