He's eyeballing you!

@JoeB: But he's smiling so I didn't think he'd be a problem. It wasn't until later that I realized I didn't really know what he was smiling about.

Whoa! Hope you are using a long lens.

@Marcah: Well, he was smiling, so I didn't think it would be a problem. It wasn't until later that I realized I didn't know why he was smiling.

Amazing creature and well capture. It's kind of scary that he sees you taking his photo.

@bluechameleon: Yeah, but he's smiling. Of course, it only occurred to me later why an alligator might be smiling.

@Linerberry: At the time I was disarmed by his smile. Only later did I realize what he might be smiling about.

Gator nation:-) You're a brave man.

@sherri: You mean you think he's smiling at me and not with me?

Julian Kilsby from Birmingham, United Kingdom

I see you're safely at 220mm! What a cute l'il fella, great shot.

@Julian Kilsby: It didn't feel like 220mm put me all that far away, even with him smiling like he is --or should I say, especially with him smiling? And I had great doubts about being able to outrun him.
