Everglades Alligator by Joe Elliott
This is a photo of a wild alligator that we came upon while in The Everglades National Park, located in south Florida. The water is a dark brown color because of the natural tannins found in the swamp waters. He was waiting for us to come just a little bit closer……but we ain’t stupid !
Canon EOS-40D with Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L zoom lens on a Bogen tripod.
