    Re: Alligator vs. turtle

    wow, this makes my skin crawl!
    Great capture !!

    did you watch the alligator catch the turtle ?
    is this a young alligator? can't really tell the size from this photo, but it has really white teeth

    An excellent reminder for photographers to stay the heck away from the edge of the water...

    as you can you tell your image made an impression on me :blush2:

    Hmm decisions, hit it with the tripod or the 500mm as it goes for you?
    I plan on having Angie watch my back while we're there.

    I'd with whichever one is cheaper to replace when the jaws mangle it.
