Alligator, Florida

Photograph by Larry Lynch , My Shot

I made this image at Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida , this past spring. There had been no rain in the river valley for quite a while, and the waters were at drought level. I found this guy in a shallow depression in the riverbed, along with some trapped fish, and knew I had a good chance for an evening shot with flash.
