ART Alligators

[vgeek]

First picture post, really excited since these are the best alligator pictures I've gotten to date. Went through Lightroom really quick and did some minor adjustments, I know crappy vignetting but it kind of helps on some of them.

They're all taken in a park of wild alligators. The huge one was like 10ft and people were walking by casually instead of going around and it was hissing. I was pretty sure these people letting their toddlers roam freely were going to have an incident.

the first two are nice... the third... it's just too damned busy to really notice the gator at the center... even when you find the subject, it's hard to see.

i bet that place is creepy at night. i think you resized your pics too small, the last one would be nice if it was large.

I thought that too, I have one from right behind it that is cleaner, but its the back of it unfortunately.

It is, I went last year for a full moon tour... when you pointed your flashlight into the water, there were all types of eyes lit up in the water and the banks. I just post that small size on forums, I have 1280 long side pictures on my site and it does look better.

I've been to an alligator park before. Very nice though sorta creepy places. I was probably 12 though so I only got some 35mm pics of them and doubt I could find them now.

Nice pics!
