Default C&C for this gator photo

Mr. Gator

Interested in your thoughts on the composition and crop. Wasn't sure if I should go tighter on the animal or keep it wider so you can see where he is.

I live in Florida and these guys are around but this is the first time I saw one this size that isn't in the zoo. I figure him to be about 6 feet long plus or minus a foot. There is a larger image in my flickr.

Camera Nikon D60
Exposure 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture f/18.0
Focal Length 200 mm
ISO Speed 200
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash No Flash

Personally I would have gone tighter, I would just have the poles framing the scene without the water on either side.
