he looks bigger than what he is. 4-5 feet maybe. None the less, I respect his space. Thanks for commenting Mary. #11358891

I would give him plenty and remember they can run at amazing speeds. At least you got a beautiful picture of him. Gorgeous colors and I love its features. It almost looks like hes keeping an eye on you. Gorgeous work Joanne. #11359159

WOW, Joanne. You tones, textures, detail & clarity are incredible. I have never seen a real one, and yes, he does have huge teeth! WTG on this shot.

thanks Frank. I am sure he was watching me as I had my little dog with me. Probably looked like lunch to him. You never really see all the different patterns on an alligator. I think this photo shows that quite well. #11375245

thanks Paddy, appreciate your comment. I never realized there was so much detail on them. Pretty intense looking.
