I was in Florida for a wedding and managed to get out and shoot a few days. Here's some of the pics:

Most of the wildlife shots are from Myakka State Park. C&C welcome, especially since I haven't focused much on wildlife shots before.

Your opening shot here is LOL excellent, one of those shots that make me burst out chuckling at first sight, just because it's so freakin' cool. Nice set of pics.

Yeah, that's a productive trip! All with a unique take on the subjects for me. The thundercloud reflection with the gator is unbelievable.

Sweet set of images. I especially like the gators with the one starting this post as my favorite.

Impressive set of images, Grant. Looks like you had a good trip.

Nice work, Grant. I think this one is my favorite, but I also really like the Heron reflection shot.

That squirrel is awesome! Nice series.

With the others that the first two of the set (heron reflection and the gator above) are the most appealing to me. The squirrel and gator with cloud reflections a strong second. Definitely a productive trip.

Love the gator with cloud reflection!

Great collection Grant. Gators are always fun to photograph.

Great stuff, Grant. I like the gator shots (is the one with just the head a gator or a croc?), and I like the first of the two swamp shots, too.

Great set of images.

Les, these were all gators. The one with mouth open is about as big as Florida gators get. They say they can grow up to 14 feet and this one looked close to 14 feet, twice the size of most other gators in the area.

Like the simplicity and the open jaws.
