#1 I like the sunlit conditions in the photo but kinda think the gator is lost in the shadow of the tree behind it. His face is illuminated and part of his tail and I think the sunlight makes the green weeds pop out of the picture.
#2 I like the angle on this one which seems to be a little lower. I also like how the overcast conditions (just a few minutes prior to the picture above) make this beast look black and powerful. But with the loss of light comes a loss of detail, like the catch light from his eye and the sharpness of the scales, etc.
#3 An entirely different gator in different scenery. The reflection on the water is my most favorite thing, and the missing leg is another. But this is a little one and doesn't seem to convey the power of the larger gators.
