Crocs, what crocs?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Crocs, what crocs?

A few days ago, I posted a shot of a water lilly scene from my photographic trip to Kakadu National Park some time ago. I was asked if there are crocs in those waters.

Here's your answer, guys.

ps - photos are lousy and not worth critique but included these to answer the questions........

Saltwater croc - took this the same afternoon as the water lillies shot

Crocs, what crocs???? (back in the days when I had no grey hairs and also the pre-Nikon days when I was a Canon user!))

Andrew : Thanks for the compliment! I'm about to do it again soon, hopefully.......

Tony : The 'bazooka' is an 800mm 5.6 Canon. A real beauty, eh?

 LOL you're certifiable! Seriously though, I note you made good use of the lillies as an advanced warning system for any stray crocs that take an unhealthy interest in you. I just wonder what the thought process is if you see large chunks of lillies being pulled underwater and in your direction. Do I make for a quick getaway, or do I save the gear???

Andrew: Jokes aside, the guy I went with is one of Australia's foremost wildlife photographers and documentary makers and know's the area like the back of his hand. Due to the shallow water and thick lillies, crocs do not venture into this area. To answer your question, I'd probably go for the gear.... (only kidding!).

A nice picture of "Latchem" about to do the crocodile roll! That's not a lens, it's a mini Hubble telescope.
