A style of black and white not usually associated with wildlife. Street photography is a better fit. That said, this Alligator image is all about how they hide in plain sight.
I moved it from color to B&W, pushed contrast, and decided I liked it.
High Contrast View
Nice tone and mood!
Thanks, I was surprised it worked here. The side view of his scales, horns, etc. I found interesting. Besides the fact I love to photograph them 😂
