Wait long enough you won’t need any AI help.
In fairness I did use a spot removal. A little bird poop on his head that bothered me, not him.

the poop 😂😂
Huge… about 10 minutes ago Ellen asked me ‘did you see the Alligator poop on the dike’ ? I told her no, she said ‘I didn’t think so but you weren’t that close…it was enormous’ 😳😳.
We went out for a camera walk in old cemeteries this morning. Gators are out and about. My first real walk since the new neck pieces installed so I’m a little rusty lol. Beside I’m in a brace, can’t see much of anything.
fantastic
An incredible photography subject. They don’t have to a single thing and still make a fascinating photo. 🤣. I always say when we are having a slow day let’s look for alligators.
Those are some toothy gators.
Yeah. I think the older ones just keep loosing and regrowing teeth so often this is where it goes. See what we have to look forward to…..
Huh. He tangled with something that cost him a tooth. Not sure I want to know the details 🙂
The old never ask if you don’t want the answer lol
I agree with your title! What a grin 😟
For the ridiculously large number of Alligator images I have 🤣😂
Look at those teeth.
Poor eating habits…chew on anything
🤣🤣🤣 Ted, I absolutely love the title of this one — and that alligator certainly seems determined to prove your point!
“Life Is More Creative Than AI” is so true when you look at what nature comes up with. 😂 An alligator with those magnificent teeth, a missing tooth and, apparently, a bird using his head as a toilet… you couldn’t make this stuff up! 🤣🤣🤣
And I love what you said about them being fascinating photography subjects because they don’t actually have to do anything. Sometimes the best photographs really are about simply noticing what is already there.
As a photographer myself, I think that’s one of the things I love most about photography. You don’t necessarily need an exotic location or something spectacular happening. Sometimes you just have to look around you and actually **see** what is there.
AI can create an alligator, but it can’t go looking for one, wait for it to appear, notice the light, frame the shot and then discover that some bird has left a rather unfortunate contribution on its head. 🤣🤣🤣
Nature wins this round and you get 10 stars for this amazing shot! ❤️📷🐊
And I think I’ll take your advice — if I’m ever having a slow photographic day, apparently I just need to go look for an alligator. 😂
😂 thanks. Everybody loves an Alligator photo, from a distance, and they usually don’t move very fast. A point and click….
😂 Exactly! “From a distance” is definitely the important part of that sentence! 😂🐊 A point and click sounds wonderfully simple… right up until the alligator decides it would like to become the subject AND the photographer. 🤣
