I have had this gator head for the past 20 years, sitting on one shelf or another, pretty much doing nothing but gathering dust. This was a legally harvested gator by the way, however you may feel about that. I am not particularly happy that gators are harvested but I am sure it's best for their overall conservation strategies and I also enjoy very much eating fried gator tail. It is delicious.
Anyway, I was at home today feeling a little under the weather and decided to take some shots of this once alive and most beautiful creature and therefore give it a little better purpose than sitting unseen as a dust magnet. I used my Nikon D3 and 105mm macro lens so that is why I posted it here in the macro forum. I guess it could have just as easily been placed in the wildlife or perhaps even the still life forums. If it needs to be moved, please do so.
