2021 FWF Photo Contest

Description

I was walking on the Anhinga trail at Everglades National Park and I noticed that three alligators just turned around to stare at me. It was mating season, so I guess they get a bit defensive. Fortunately I was watching from a safe place and distance. With a telephoto lens I zoomed in and waited until one of them was just directly looking at me. The overcast sky reflected on the water made it look almost white, so I decided to convert this image to black and white.
