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.
There is that certain look an alligator can get that makes you glad he is not coming after you…


And he looks so hungry. Great shots.

I love how you make alligators look cute to me.

I’ll be sure to pass along your compliment. He will be thrilled you think he is cute.
No wait, maybe he won’t. Better I tell him you thought he looked mean, he might appreciate that more.

he’s just a pussycat. LOL.
He wants to keep his reputation as he’s top predator in his habitat.

Obviously, these guys have a little bit of an attitude when confronted by an idiot. Great shots in some nice light, Phil.

It’s funny what can suddenly attract and set one of these guys off. They can appear docile, then suddenly ya never know….

Love it.

Thanks, I can usually count on some kind of action when one of these guys goes over to the salt side.
