As a break from Manatee pics, here’s a look at a large alligator heading into the water as our boat slowly approached. (The gators ignore the boats that speed past, loudly, but didn’t like us drifting in closer. In fact many of them disappeared before we got into decent photo range.) (7D2, 100-400 @ 312, 1/200 s, f/9, iso 800)

Hope it was a big boat, Mark. You are very brave and this fellow looks quite serious! Fantastic detail in the gator.
That is one fierce-lookin’ dude, Mark! You might want to consider a longer lens for this shot! Just kidding. Great look at the 'gator with fine details.

Love the details and little splashes, those teech look quite dangerous.
You may go more horizontal ( I mean more pano) if you like.
Mark, I’m with @linda_mellor, I hope it was a big boat. The low POV really works in this shot. Excellent details in him, and you made eye contact. Nice reflections in the water, and that little splash is a nice touch. He was showing you his pearly whites, but I don’t think that was a smile for the camera. Great capture.
