I’ve posted similar photos before of caiman in colorful water. This one really shows off the late day light that was reflecting greens, oranges and golds off the surface of a river in the Pantanal of Brazil. Yacare caiman are a medium sized crocodilian, with males reaching about 8 to 10 feet in length. Not exactly small, but not as big as some of its larger relatives.

Lovely color and light! Makes the caiman look more handsome than he really is! Colorful reflections in water, I think, are a photographer’s best friend.
Colors reflect the movement of the water & different shades you caught of the moment
He looks a little scary is it the same family we have here in Florida
