From my recent trip to the Everglades. Yes, the alligators are that close (I had to back up as I was using a long lens).
(As always, click on the image to bigafy it.)

Adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor so that you can view each of the 17 grayscale steps from black to white. Special attention should be given to the black end of the scale. The darkest step should be made as dark as possible while you are also able to distinguish it from the next lighter step.

Steve, that is fabulous!! Very unique. Hope the rest of your trip went well.
This is really, really awesome Steve... I just love it!
Awesome Steve! Love the gaiter shots.
Hi Steve,
Awesome shot! You look totally relaxed being that close to an alligator. I'm afraid I would be a bit nervous. Have a great day!
Sherrie
A knockout! This is so fine and a bit scary too. Hope you had a fun and rewarding trip.
Very cool Steve!
Whoa! Very cool!! Glad that lens had a long reach!
Crazy image. I don't know if I could have taken my eyes off the gator to look thru the viewfinder. Went to college at Univ. of Fla. and we used to feed the gator's at the lake behind the married housing apartments. Really fun.
Very original, and we can see what he has his eyes on.
Awesome idea and execution (pardon the pun!).
My goodness! What a shot! Wow! Hard way to get a self-portrait if you ask me Steve! Appreciate it, though. Nice capture, or was it? Think you'd have a long way to go to capture that bugger!
WOW!..just that...WOW!
Hey, that is just SO clever! What a great idea. And Wow, what a shot!
That is AWESOME Steve!!!! Was that planned or serendipitous?
@ Madelaine: Both. I've other images where if I look closely, I can just make out an some identifying characteristic of myself. So I am always looking for such a reflection.
But I did not take this image expecting to get such a good reflection of myself.
So, expected serendipity!
Thanks for answering.
It's an amazing image!
Interesting frame for a self-portrait :-), and a bit dangerous to I guess
