You have to be careful in our park....the gators are the natives...not us!

Brazos Bend I believe. I like the smiling pose.

I really like that big open mouth. Would like to see it a little larger though since the border takes up so much of the allowable 720 pixels.

HI Lucy,

Impressive set of teeth and jaws! This is the kind of shot where it's hard NOT be to anthropomorphic and think this gator is smiling!

The crop here is a little tight for my taste (personal preference issue), particularly on the left side of the frame where I'd like to see a little more room.

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Yes Angela, I take all my wetlands photos at Brazos Bend. It you have any other good spots, please tell me. I'm always up for a road trip.

Brad, too tight cropping for my taste also...but this was a "shoot" and "run" shot So I framed it, so it wouldn't look so squished.

Fantastic grin, and I like the contrast of the red mouth and the green vegetation. I love it!
