Nice, sunny, shiny and colorful, full of life!

I would photoshop out that out-of-focus, bright log, right behind the snout, though.

I darkened it significantly...but perhaps gone would be better.

Maybe he'll eat the log when he wakes up.

A fascinating subject to photograph.  Beautiful animal.

Beautiful but extremely dangerous. Faster reaction time than you would ever think and one this size can easily drag a full grown man underwater for a later meal.

Most wild animals should not be approached but admired from a distance.  ;D

The new version is much improved.
You can tell by the smile on the gator's face.

Nice shot. I hope you used a telephoto lens.

Shot with a 750mm lens....he might have fancied me, but I wasn't about to get close enough to tempt him.
