Thanks to everyone for their comments. They are the reason I started submitting my photos. I agree with the majority of people who suggested cropping out the water-it would have made the photo much better. I've implemented some cropping in my transportation selection-can't wait to see what everyone thinks of that submission.

My take is that cropping out any part of the image that contains water (leaving a panorma that consists of the lower 3rd to 1/2 of the photo) produces an almost abstract shot thats more appealing to me. What immediately draws me to the photo is the mass of alligators looking in different directions and the muddy, refelective water draws your eyes away from all the action.

Wow - what a really great shot. I almost wish I couldn't see ground or water - that it was ALL these gators! Superb.

i like that all the alligators are in focus, this is a pretty daunting photo to have taken, I hope they were behind a fence!

Was there a fence between you and them??? That's a real alligator salad you've captured there, excellent!

Great textures. I tink I'd try it without the water - just the alligators.

I really like the pattern of all that 'gator skin. Any chance of getting much, much closer? :-)

Mass of fauna. Can't really see where one alligator end and another begins - to add to that effect I'd crop the river out of the picture - just leave the central jumble of alligators, and perhaps play with the levels to make the backs blacker and the light spots more defined.

Excellent capture! Looks a little bright in areas, but cool shot!

This seems just a tad overexposed in my opinion. Perhaps some adjustment to the contrast would bring out a little more color and detail. One thing that struck me when I saw this picture is how the alligators look as if they are smiling.
