@ Misha Nope wasn't getting out of the boat, got a bit paranoid remembering the feedings at Gatorland and at the zoo. I will try to get Austin to post a pic of one of the gator feedings he captured at the zoo. Gators can actually jump, and at Gatorland they have quite a few feedings that you can watch called the gator jump-a-roo show! They tie chickens (dead and de feathered) onto a cable on a pulley and roll them out over the water 4 to 5 feet from the surface, and the gators jump up out of the water and get the chickens. @Michelle Holy shit is right! I have a ton of these images, I took about 200 images on this shoot, matter of fact I will show you my favorite, (see attached image). It is really hard to get good shots when the boat keeps jerking from the rowing and the area is pretty much shaded, all in all I wound up with about 60 shots like the ones up above. The attached image like I said is one of my favorites, not sure what to call it, but I hope you all like it! Of course I will do a little cropping on this image, as the composition isn't all that. :)
