Description

She made a 180 degree turn as he was eyeing me. she never let her eyes off of me for a second intill she saw I was no danger to her or her eggs; then she swim back to her nest. Here you see more of the water around her. If you look close you see part of the water cover her back.The sun is setting so that why the light is reflexing off her skin. I going out there to morrow to see if I can get the sun in her eye. That what I really wish for. Also I going to try to see the nest. They say you can see it from the road. I also take some photos of the lay of the land to show you how I get these shots from my truck. The road is right on the edge of the swamp. I deo not get out my truck at all. thanks for looking and comments. This be the last of this gator intill I get more shots of her. I got another gator I forgot about and it over 8 feet long . Got so many shots to show you lol I like a little kid just wanting to show you everything.

Correction post.. These gator shots are great Jocko. Geezuz.. 8 meters says the danish translator i used..... But it is 8 FEET... :) quite a difference... But she has teeth that can chew for sure. Magnificent animal. +5

She looks big and mean and like an angry monster that could easily leap out and kill somebody. This one's my favorite of all so far. I like to see the reflections that really show the place plus the green of that swamp water. If the sun reflects off her eye, it'd blind her a little bit, and I'm guessing she'd try to change her position so that wouldn't happen. Good luck with it, and stay in that truck!

I can't wait to see if you get a shot of her with sunlight glinting in her eyes! These are awesome shots you are getting! I like how you can still see part of her underwater.

This is a superb shot of the mother gator caught as she moved menacingly into the light! Great contrast lighting and textures! Sneak factor extremely high.
