I found this gator relaxing by an irrigation ditch in Florida. It was probably 15 feet in length.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Nice size to it. My guess is you couldn't back up enough to get all of it. Pretty impressive specimen.

Nice exposure. BIG gator. I would have loved to see the camera find him at eye level, maybe with a bit of catchlight! Still, well done.
