Description
"EYE OF THE APEX"
The world as seen through the eye of an American Alligator in the Florida Everglades. The reflections of the sun and the sky in his eye were not added in photoshop and were there naturally. I actually have several variations of the sun and sky reflected this way from this photoshoot and this was my favorite.
The alligator in this photo is a 12 foot beauty and his name is George. He hangs out in the same spot in the Florida Everglades and I've been filming and photographing him for years. He doesn't seem bothered by people but whenever another alligator gets to close to his territory he chases them off. A short video I filmed of him scaring off another gator was featured on the television show "Right This Minute". FAA doesn't support links in descriptions but you can copy and paste the link to the video to watch it. The link is:

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. -- Congratulations on your recent sale of an amazing work

Close and very personal. Interesting animals but then most predictors are, probably because of the danger. His "cat" eye catches your eye and I'll bet it doesn't miss a thing. Like your description and enjoyed your photo.
