Alligator at Sunset
This alligator came floating into the marsh pond last week silhouetted by the setting sunlight.
I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.

Interesting, but rather strange looking shot! The reflection is so perfect that it makes for one bizarre looking creature. 😀

Nice photo!
(I can hear the “Jaws” movie theme song playing in my head as I picture this alligator lurking around in the water. Don’t ask my why…for some reason it just is.)

There should be a music soundtrack playing in the background, I’m sure the alligators would love to have their own theme!
