I photographed this on Sanibel Island 10-11-2008. I was using my Sony Alpha 100 with a Sigma 50-500 lens. The metadata is as follows:
f/7.1, 1/500, 0 ev, ISO 100, 360mm. C & C's welcomed.
Thanks,

I like the pose and details and wish for a lower angle and would give it more room.

Nice pose and the side lighting really works well here. Although I like the shadow in this photograph, which is a nice compositional addition I'd like to suggest a lower angle, which would bring more intimacy to your creation.
