An alligator takes a break in Florida's Myakka River State Park in Sarasota after gorging on fish stranded in shallow pools left behind as water from the river receded. “It wasn't going anywhere in a hurry”, photographer Larry Lynch said in a statement. To get the picture, titled “Warning Night Light”, Lynch set up his camera about 20 feet (7 meters) from the alligator. Just after sunset, he set his flash on the lowest setting to capture the “eyeshine” in animal's eyes. Like cats, alligators have a structure at the backs of their eyes that reflects light back into the photoreceptor cells to make the most of low light. (Photo by Larry Lynch)
