I always try to give some type of size perspective when I take these shots. They always look bigger than they are, even the big ones.
Except this one. He is huge.

I took this for no particular reason except this Alligator is very big, usually in the same place in a large marsh, and doesn’t really like to see people.
When he is around, we move on. Nothing has ever happened, he just likes to come up close and intimidate. It works.
