Florida Tan

Nice composition with a very good focus / sharpness.  Well done!

Hi Margaret,

An excellent image of this small alligator.

Well shot at 300mm F/5.6.

The lens performance is maximized, and along with the closer range, the clarity level turned out well.

Best Regards, Mike

A beautiful result, very nicely composed too, Margaret!

Margaret:  Good composition and exposure.  Tom

Bill, Mike, Ruud, Tom and Joao thank you for your critiques. I truly appreciate your feedback. This is a baby gator, probably about a year old. It was just enjoying the sun.  

Lots of textures, opacities and colors coming into play and you tamed them all for a wonderful shot. Cute little bugger. GJ

Thanks for the feedback, GungaJim. He was a cutie for a baby. But then, they grow up...Glad to hear from you.

This must be same one I photographed in the Everglades a week ago. I think your shot is better than mine.

Thanks, Tom. Yours is a great shot-just a bit different. This is a baby and mom was watching us carefully. Our guide is great on finding these little guys and will get them close to the airboat by tossing out mini marshmallows. If you're ever in Central Florida, we will show you some great natural sights.

a very nice portrait of this little alligator, good the composition the colors and sharpness, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks so much Giangiorgio. Thanks for stopping by to comment. I appreciate it.
