Perhaps a 3 week old alligator practicing for the Big Leagues @ Brazos Bend State Park last sUNDAY. Sorry about the image, shooting into the sun with the wee beasty tucked up against plant to keep out of the cool breeze today (about 75 degrees at 7:00 AM). D2X using 400mm + TC20
To put things into perspective for everyone, tip of the nose to the back of this one's head is about 1 inch. Total body length about 12-14 inches. I had to shoot this one because all the others were within minimum focus distance of the 400 (shooting at 800 with TC20). Mother was very cooperative today with no lunging and bluff attacks, however she was "testy", to say the least, yesterday, having logged 2 or three warnings to stay back. She is a "good mother" who listens to (if she is under water having a "wet" and any of the kids yelp, she will surface) and watches her children as they take sun-baths on the beach keeping about 4 feet away. Baby counts are unclear yet, ranging from between 14 and 20.

and if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say #1,
it has a nice, soft mood to it and the composition feels balanced.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

That was to TPF (TexasPhotoForum.com) and the work of another photographer so was the best I could do without infringing on their (C). Signup at that site is free, so I did not think it was "any biggie" for those who wanted to view the images.
