 Yeah, "Come on in. The water's fine!",,,, NOT

Yes, it was a rather high pucker factor moment shooting this at gator eye level at 18mm. But It makes an interesting photo, so no guts no glory. They are ok as long as they are smiling and you don't stir them up into a feeding frenzy.
The one behind the first one is about 9 or 10 ft long.

Yeah, 5 second delay is all you need! So how long is your monopod!

"There are times when using a remote, or 5 sec delay is just a good idea. This was shot with my monopod and 5 sec delay, then rotated to right side up later." MelonMusketeer

The one in the foreground is slightly out of focus (he comments, as he laughs hysterically...)

This is like an Iron Man version of feeding the ducks . .

I think I'll stick with the Ducks :- )

Good shot though.

Oh, you are SO freakin nuts! No WAY would I ever get that close. Here I am checking to see if you were using a 300mm with a couple of extenders, but no.... NUTS! Just make sure your insurance is paid up the next time you shoot there. :-)
