I finally got my picture.

I thought I would post this here also because it was taken with the Tamron. After MANY, probably hundreds of visits to GINS Park trying to see a baby alligator, I finally saw it today. I not only got a picture of it it was on the log like i had always wanted it to be and on top of everything else that went right I got him to smile!!!!! This is one fantastic day for me. I can't even guess at the number of hours I have spent trying to get this picture. I am ONE HAPPY GUY! It is about 2ft long.

That's great that you finally scored on the shot you wanted. And it came out very nice.

well worth the wait, good shot.

Its good when a plan comes together. Well done Jeff.

WTG Jeff Nice when you see it before it happens :cheerful:

Beautiful creature.....and you captured the moment! Do you think he just started to feel sorry for you and finally gave in LOL?

Good for you Jeff. Very nice shot indeed that should make you proud for years to come. I specially like the fact that you did hunt for this shot for a while. It makes it mean even more to you now.

Great capture.

Outstanding Shot!

Way to go, Jeff. That can be so fulfilling, and is what keeps many of us as interested as we are.

Glad that your patience finally paid off.

That is one great shot, Jeff!

Wonderful photo of a wonderful moment. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks to all of you that took the time to look at my photo and give it a like or leave a comment. This cancer has slowed down my picture taking a lot but it is always uplifting when I do go out to get a nice image especially one I have been trying to get for years. It is definitely a boost in my moral. Hope everyone has a great day and thanks for taking a look at my photo!

Thanks again for all of the likes! I believe this has done better than any other image that I have posted over the years. Thanks again, Jeff
