As any nature photographer in Florida has learned, you will have to learn to co-exist with alligators if you shoot near water (and sometimes they show up whether there is water or not). I have a great deal of respect for them and I've found that I enjoy observing and photographing them.
Alligator Eyes
This was a very large alligator that was next to a picnic area I was shooting from and every time I moved, he sunk and then popped up about 3 feet in front of me. I finally decided it was time to give him his territory back as I've seen way too many foolish people at the parks feeding and harassing them--which creates a very dangerous animal.
