Framed Alligator Art

A much softer framed alligator artwork is the photograph “Albino Alligator,” which shows a juvenile alligator looking at the viewer in a truly arrogant manner. The mad gator looks down at the viewer, as though it is saying, “I'm better than you!” This lends a very human touch to an otherwise emotionless creature. The light reflects off its white hide, so it is brighter than the brown background. The shadows are less intense than the ones in other pictures of alligators.

Some of the most striking parts of an animal are the parts that have an interesting texture on them. The framed alligator close-up “Nile Crocodile, Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya” by Paul Soders and Donita Delimont focuses on the creature's scales, instead of its jaws. The viewer can see the “teeth” of the scales, which look very sharp, as well as all of the lineations of the scales, and the scratches that the animal has acquired from years of surviving, hunting, and fighting. The scales truly tell the story of the crocodile's life.
