I was in Gatorland myself a month ago. Those birds are really ugly and steal food!

Haha, Indeed they are! I got a closeup headshot of one of them and man are they nasty lookin But I suppose to a gator it's just another meal.

haha, it looks like that bird is looking over it's shoulder - making sure that gator doesn't come any closer.
Awesome shot

great moment you captured. I like the kitschy old timey look of the photo it has a little touch of suspense and dare I say it humor.

Where did you capture this?? Its a wonderful moment of the freaking nature. You have composed and focused this shot well. If you used a polarized filter it would have beeing much better.

JDiPierro In reply to farcry77 [2008-01-25 17:06:11 +0000 UTC]

This was at Gatorland (www.gatorland.com) near Orlando Florida. And thank you I don't recall if I had a polarizer on for this shot or not but I know I was using it that day, I liked the reflection in the water from the bird so thats why I chose that way.
