 I took this gator shot while walking on the boardwalk at the South Padre Island,TX Bird Center. I was really trying to get some bird photos and the alligator was in the water close to the boardwalk. Then he smiled.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

Unfortunately, candids of animals are really not what I look for in a good candid. Animals are aware and both unaware at the same time of a photographer, nor do they care either way. Too easy, no comfort zone lost. It's a 2 for me.

interesting take on the challenge. this shot is a little blown out and a little soft. then again, it's a hard subject to shoot. good luck with it. if your score isn't where you would like it to be, you might want to read this thread

Good crop I think, but it doesn't fit the topic for me.
