I realize that low key gator images aren't to everyone's taste, but I'm kind of addicted to them.
Alligators are creatures of the night(when it comes to hunting) and I see them having a predominately dark side so that's why I like low key for them. That's not to say they don't look almost fun in daytime, with that permanent smile they cart around.

Nice shot with all the gators and the interesting reflections in the water.

I like this image quite a bit and it's impressive to see so many big gators in one shot. However, I think the higher angle hurts the image a bit and it looks crooked (though I believe it isn't)

It looks like party time. The detail and dof is good and I don't mind the low key at all. Like you said, it kind of fits the gators.

Hi Wayne,

Low-key approach works OK with me here. When I look at the larger version I'm left wondering if it might be worth playing with a pano crop here (with most of the crop off the top, sacrificing the one gator in the background). Just a thought...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
