Even by this sites standards it’s a bit of an odd Alligator image. You may struggle to spot him, you are looking at him from behind, and he staring back over his shoulder. Not many composition rules followed here.
I think it’s nice because of all the different greens, textures, and thick vegetation. Even that the gator is draped over an old log or stump.
This is best viewed large.

Those “rules” are suggestions, at least to my mind. Nice shot!
LOL, I so very much agree. This had so much going on a didn’t know what to do ! Good thing he wasn’t moving
