Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that contributes well to the free challenge

Given your focal length you were closer than I would have cared or dared to be, well done for bravery alone! Your shot is accurately focused on the alligator nicely defined against the soft focus foreground and background it stands out well in an appealing way. There is good clarity of detail throughout the image. The green of its surroundings is in bold contrast to its dark skin. It is an accurate documentary record shot but that is all, there is no wow factor that takes your breath away perhaps if you had offered him one of your limbs it would have that missing factor but then so would you have missing bits and that, all said and done, is a little too much to expect!

Thank you for your entry

The wet, slimy, gritty green adds such impact...

Great capture. I like how it has applied a nice layer of camo makeup.
