“Hey, Nice Splash!”
An alligator this past weekend was having some fun in the water jumping around and making a big splash! The fish however were not having near as much fun…
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.

Eh no, direi che i pesci non si divertivano tanto 🙂
Splendide, sono scatti meravigliosi
Ciao, Pat

These are such funny shots, Phil, although I’m sure the fish didn’t find it funny at all. Mr A looks as though he’s in 7th Heaven. 😀

Mr. A was thrilled! I didn’t think he ever going to leave his ‘honey hole’! 😀 Fish were not pleased at all though. 😦

Thanks Edith and yes as you suspected the fish were not happy about the big guy splashing around in their pool at all.

I really like the look at those choppers in number three, Phil.That’s quite a fang back by the jaw.

I think was using more of a gulping method then a chewing method on these fish. He tends to save the choppers for crabs. 🙂
Thanks Steve.

Love the close ups! Many, many unhappy fish I bet. Looks like frolicking – while also getting in a nip of a meal here and there. 🙂
