A unique angle on an Alligator

I captured this wildlife picture of an American Alligator from a pedestrian boardwalk at the South Lake Howard Nature Park in Winter Haven, Florida. The boardwalk gave me a unique advantage to take this wildlife picture from nearly directly above it. This was a relatively small specimen at only four or five foot long (if that long). I captured many other equally nice wildlife photographs of it that day and will at some point in the future add them to this blog.
