    Wow, those are great! That must be a really big turtle in that second image. And... you're a h*** of a lot braver than I am!

    Very nice, (Walt?)! The second one is a great interaction shot between the two species.

    The first one is great with the reflection.

    Great that you are a kayak shooter - I've been thinking about buying one from which to shoot (not gators though ). Any advice on which kind is better than others. Sit-on-tops, recreational, 10', 13', ...

    Thanks in advance! And great shooting :thumbsup:

    Yes Loupey , The one I have you sit in with room for water a proof camera bag.The ones you sit on look like it would be hard to stay dry.Mine has a large opening with lots of room,plus a lot easier to get in and out of.I sat there for a bit to see what the gater had in mind and he just wanted the sun spot.Thanks for the good words.Walt

    Very nice shots! And good info on the kayak too, I've been considering one myself, my canoe is just too big and heavy for a day out alone.
