Always interesting to see birds like this looking ruffled and not so 'magnificent' as normal - I guess this is actually how they spend a fair bit of their time . .

Good Lord, they're all headed for you!!! Seeing all those eyeballs staring at me would creep me out pretty badly if I were that close. That's an insane number of gators in one place! It's no wonder they're eating each other with that amount of crowding. I actually feel sorry for them. Do they ever trap and move them on the basis of crowding, or do they wait till a gator eats a pet or small child before doing something?

Looks like he was using those branches to scratch his back ;-) Nice detail on him.

Another Tropical Sunset 10

Comment by DavidSharp:
hello just a few comments.

Colour is appealing. Amazing sunsets even when u have seen many.
Is the whole image out of focus ? The edge above the houses/bush not being in focus bothers a little.
A clean image that could have more contrast to punch it up a bit.
The image is scanned with my eye from bottom left to upper right yet the image elements go from right to left. A 180 degrees horizontal flip might be considered.
The sunset might do with some real punching up ( may be more punch in foreground)so it becomes more the clear focus point of the image.
thanks for posting
