Thank Giangiorgio! I wasn't sure about the signature placement and since I wasn't sure about it...I probably should not have put it there. You are correct.

No offense taken at all Grayham. Your feedback has all been good and appreciated, thank you. I am just generally frustrated with "playing" the ratings game I guess...but for some reason I still want to play. ;)

I did not realize there was ANY reflection in the water until I got the image up on the computer. If there is an okay reflection I tend to leave it in for the people that do like it.

I post my images as UNMANIPULATED and I only shoot stuff in THE WILD but neither gets any credit around here. So, it seems unless I get REALLY LUCKY or if I start shooting all the crap in ZOOS and then really work hard on my Photo Shop Skills, my photos will remain AVERAGE (4) crap here on Photo.net. ;) ....and I am okay with that. :)

I will likely try to give my subjects a little more space in the future to see if I can't get better reflections...then just crop the image if I have to...or take some shots tight and some shots with space...maybe I will get a good one next time.

I am always photographing alligators and have a few photos up of them so I did a search on the site to see what else was here and found this. WOW! I am sooooo happy the alligator won this battle. Had it been a smaller gator I think the result would have been different unfortunately. Great job.

Thanks Ranga! I had to hit him with a lot of light in the swamp because he was under so much brush in the early afternoon. Had I not used my speedlight it would have just been a drab gray lump on a log.
