Description
Swamp Creature by HH Photography of Florida.
A very large, very prehistoric looking American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) crawls out of the murky waters of Lake Myakka to rest on the grassy lake banks in the late light of day. Gators were at one time listed as an endangered species but have rebounded due to conservation efforts and are now of Least Concern. Found mostly in the Southeastern United States, alligators inhabit swamps and other fresh water lakes, rivers and streams from Virginia to south Florida and east to Texas. Photographed in Myakka River State Park, Florida, and enhanced with textures for an artistic effect.

Great POV and an outstanding, detailed capture of this scary looking critter, Helen, and your dark, vignette processing adds to the menacing feel! L/F

What a beast! One thing I recall from a trip to Myakka many moons ago was the hundreds of glowing red gator eyes shining in the darkness when I turned my flashlight on a swampy pond one night. Right out of the Jurassic! Love this photo and the effect. He really has his eye on the viewer! Faved!
HH Photography of Florida replied:
Thank you, Matt. He was huge. There were 2 vultures feeding on a dead animal on the bank and this creature crawled up to see what was going on. Myakka has more alligators than you can imagine.
