A young Gator
A young, not so big alligator at Gatorland, Orlando, FL. Since we are on the boardwalk its kinda difficult to get a low angle. So i sat of the floor to get an acceptable angle. Wanted to highlight the eye with its reflection.

Sorry Sanjeev, it's not really grabbing me, I just find the detail and overall impact lacking.
If you had it, then using the 500 with the 1.4 and going for more of a 'detail' image may have been better and more in keeping with what you wanted to achieve.Wanted to highlight the eye with its reflection.

Hi Sanjeev - it's always tough to shoot when you're restricted to a boardwalk. The colors look good but I have to agree with Steve that the fine detail and texture is missing.

Dear Sanjeev,
I think I understand what you had in mind when you captured this. I do like the idea of the eye and its reflection in the water - had you managed to get closer this would have been an awesome frame. Perhaps not as exciting as we want it to be, but still a nice portrait and I like the rich colours and tonality. Framing works, you might want to consider opening the blacks a tad in order to show the beautiful patters on the alligator's skin.
Thank you so much for sharing,
Kind regards,

Hi Sanjeev as i do like reptiles in general .. i am ok with the shot .
Like the crop , colors and the overall tones .... but if you wanted to highlight the eyes and reflection ... well than you missed the target from my POV . As the crop is far to loose and your target is lost in the frame.
TFS Andreas
