How to take a Traveling Alligator picture
The idea of the picture is to show the place where the traveling alligator is.
I usually use a shallow depth of field (the background looks blurry or out of focus) when taking the picture, but this is up to you and your camera (many smart phones will automatically blurry the background when in portrait mode).
Try to locate the alligator in the lower right or left corner of the frame, again the idea is to highlight the place where the alligator is.
Use this pictures as a reference:
The alligator is in the left corner of the frame
The alligator is in the right corner of the frame
