Good Day,

Further yesterday's post , Another type of animal captured at the resort. Please be aware , they are not running free in the gardens. You have two sites were they are kept. The only periods they seem to have some kind of activity, it is at scheduled lunch time. Otherwise they rest in the shadow of a palm tree or in the ponds..... Just like many tourists...(^_^)

Check the map for the exact location of the alligators pool.

Technically: Taken at about 07h40 in the morning after our breakfast. Therefore not much light available , since they were still under trees. I had to pass my camera through a hole in the fence and shoot at 90 degrees to the left. Therefore I could not frame my shot adequately. So it took me a while to get a decent one. Nevertheless I still had to crop it sensibly . Resized and framed.

Beautiful shot of these fantastic reptiles, I think the shate has made their eyes so dark they look quite evil. The image is nice and sharp and the detail is amazing and the conrtrasting colour between the scales and the grass is amazing. The crop and frame add to the scene. TFS

These are scary guys that you dont want to meet with. A very nice capured showing part of it that makes it look like they are wild in the middle of jungle. Well done. Sothy
