Love the detail of the skin and texture Neil. I haven't had a chance to photograph Crocs much, but the few chances I have had, I always have a tough time with the comp. On this one though....seems like a lower angle might have made more impact, but hard to say. I like the colors also.

Nice one Neil! Good comp, focusing on the business end in great detail. Looks like you had a great trip to Africa from the photos you've posted so far.

The sleep closed eye and crooked smile beg for a caption... I like the nice detail but wonder how it would look if the water brightness was toned down just a little.

Very cool...he seems content with his slumber...looks to be a pretty big one (4 meters?) but hard to tell just with the head. Of course, getting low-angle "eye-level" shots is very difficult with crocodiles since we are usually photographing them from a boat and approaching from land will either a.) send the crocodile sliding into the water or b.) put you on the menu. I think the comp. on this shot is great.
