Fun in The Pool
D80 Sigma50-500@500MM ISO800 F6.3 SS1/800

This is the Same Gator and basic shot as my Brother Greg's from a few days ago. Distance & Angle are a bit different along w/the Crop.
Think that if you watch an animal for a while it's just natural to start comparing their behavior to ours. At least in certain situations.

  He looks happy, but I think he's just waiting for somebody to stick a finger in that mouth.

  I think this guy had a premonition that his good looks would get you a Finalist, Jack! It explains his triumphant smile (along with the other explanation)!

  Hi Jack: You are a wild man! How can you get so close without the gators coming after you. If you plan pets out of them I hope they are house broken.
That is a hugh shot to get you can really make an impact with an image that powerful. Merna
