I know\u2026it is totally unreasonable to attribute malice to the alligator simply because of the way he looks (and sometimes acts)\u2026especially this big fellow (girl) peacefully sunning on a mangrove bank at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, but, honestly, how can we help ourselves? And surely the still-life part is obvious, or would be if you have ever seen an alligator sunning. <\/p>\n

Canon SD4000IS at about 2000mm equivalent field of view, 1\/320th @ ISO 125, effective aperture of f11. Programmed Auto. Processed in Lightroom for clarity and sharpness.<\/p>\n

This is the context shot, taken with the my regular non-digiscoping camera at about 40mm equivalent from the same spot. From this angle you can see that this is only a medium sized gator, still with a lot of years of growing to do. <\/p>\n

And finally the almost abstract close up view at something close to 4000mm equivalent field of view, with an emphasis on the eye.<\/p>\n
