Thank you for the opportunity to contribute, this picture was taken as we rode our bikes through a local park in West Palm Beach Florida, my family and I we take long bicycle rides and stop to take pictures whenever we find a nice spot. We had heard from some of the local people the you could see baby gator in the water. My children stopped to look for them from one of the little huts and I walked to a boat ramp and took this picture. We did see a couple baby gators in the water.Time
This was on at around 11 am, the park was getting a bit crowded so I had to wait until most of the people walked away.Lighting
I saw some clouds coming in the distance so I waited until the sun was covered to get a better light than that harsh noon sun.Equipment
Nikon D700, tripod,Inspiration
it reminded me of an old era, a very peaceful timeEditing

Patience and lots of it, and a very long battery life or an extra battery. sometime you have to wait until the perfect moment. I have learned a lot through viewbug that sometime the right moment may not necessarily happen the day you want it to.
