Not the usual croc photo.
Unique and nicely captured!

Thank you for your nice comments. I have just got back from o/s which is why I didn't reply earlier.

omg these things give me the creeps... seriously. But it's a good shot of a scary subject - looks like he's had a snack, too. Was he being fed - like in an exhibition or show, or is this just a talented croc? :-)

0 upvotes

Thanks aja2. Yes they were being fed and I got various shots- grab & go - with mouths wide open etc but liked this because he is so far out of the water and looks pretty happy about it! It is done in their own habitat in a huge river. I love them but then I love all creatures.

Was he auditioning for you?
This guy has potential!!

Thank you maboule123. Yeah, plenty of potential here! Not quite an audition although my husband does think he looks like he is smiling as well as dancing!
