I agonized over three choices for this challenge, and I hope I made the right choice.
This was one of many alligators just hanging out in the algae. He was the most active and every now and then would thrash about and lift his head out of the water.

Just hanging out? Now that is not somewhere I want to be close to...watching the history or national geo channels, I have seen enough attachs by them to make me be afraid.....
Awesome picture... Love the greens and the focal points here..
Yup this is the one, my pick for the top spot. The ivory of the croc and the green of the alge work like magic, witht he strong diagonal of the snout working well with the crop: good DOF provides plenty of detail on the subject while minimising distractions in the backround. It might have benfited by a bit darker blacks to bring up the pop factor, but this is the best of the crop.
Nice capture. With all that algae covering it it looks like a creature from an old sci-fi film. The composition is nice and uncluttered. I'd like to see the focus a bit sharper in its eye.
