[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At San Antonio zoo, this albino alligator is a new arrival. This guy is about 4-5 feet in length. They are rare and their white skin makes them easily visible to other predators. This photo was taken indoors in controlled environment. Because of low light I set the camera at ASA 800, no flash of course, no tripod, just steady hand.

WOW what a great shot! He is just as scary with white skin as he is with green skin! Yikes!
Linda

Great reflection shot, beautiful specimen.

Eugene

Great shot of this unsual animal!
I didn't knew that albino alligators existed.
I like the colors and the sharpness in this image, the reflection is perfect.
Thanks for sharing it with us!!

Extraordinary quality for a handhold pic' without flash! The panoramic format is well chosen. I like the grain, the colors annd the perfect reflection over water. Great work. TFS this pic' of an unusual pal ;o)
Cheers,
Pris.

A most unusual sight and a very good sharpness of this albinos alligator. Surprising and very well taken.

All the best,

Hi HK, really great composition. Like the contrast of the while gator and the dark water. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

Hi H K,

very good capture of this beautiful animal. His eyes are really scary. I find it so amazing that they are so still that the water that surrounds them is not moving. You can't even spot a heart beat. TFS, Gilbert

hi zubair...great frame...especially the reflection bit....sharp and attractive...i also like the image heading.."new arrival".....but i keep thinking there could be a more interesting angle to shoot....only you could tell...anyways full marks for reflections...

raman...

nice shot...like the colors...and great jkob with steady hand! :)

good shot, VERY good colors and reflection.
these gators are already born with an hunting instinct... as shown here.
Nicely done

Unreal to hold so steady and capture such detail. I have taken some pics at the Texas State Aquirium and to take pics through the glass is such a task. Great job.

WOW, Scary !
Nice coulours, good frame choice, interesting symetry.
Did you tried a red eyes filter (oops, I did it ;-) )
