This was taken the end of February on the Anhinga trail in the Everglades. The water was drying up and the gators were congregating in the deeper holes. I like this as well as any of the pictures I took there.

Nice clear view of the face. The curve of the tail adds a nice line.

Fine perspective! I like the S-curve of body & tail as well as the face on view. The blue reflective water is a nice touch. This orientation might work very well as a vertical, too.
