Wonderful macro image of this crocodile seemingly smiling...and my what a mouth and teeth! Great lighting to see his details up close against the blue waters. Excellent clarity and focus...great capture as he checks you out :-)

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this "Smiling" Crocodile watching you through half closed eyes as it waits for the sun to warm it up & start moving. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

WOW what a mount - he see to smile but when look at his eye, you will see that he is focusing on you imagining a good meal - you are courageous loll - this is a fantastic portrait picture - again the best of the best to show the uniqueness of a crocodiles mouth - fantastic angle - your close up is super sharp - your composition is well balanced with good use of pace - excellent contrast and lighting.
I love adventures too, but 5 meters is close and when these guy want they are very fast.... uuuuuuuhhh

A very good nature shot posted here! What an enormous looking head!! Your fine and central composition captures a good portrait photo of your croc. Would not like to be anywhere near those vicious looking teeth. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

Wow Fred! That's very close to be near a Crocodile! He does look like he is smiling! I see the texture of his skin and his eyes just barely opened, and look at all of his teeth! He is well focused, this image is clear and your exposure is well controlled, the colors and tones appear natural, I like that blue water as background. Well composed and presented!

    thanks a lot Pat for your nice comments;
    I must confess, I moved to the other side of the boat, leaving another tourist on the croc side..
