SENSATIONAL!!

Where to start.. well the first is awesome, the action is so well frozen. The second is a crisp action shot. The third is unique and nightmarish (but in the best possible way!). The fourth really deserves another look - it's understated but very effective. And the colour in the fifth is outstanding - really highlights the texture of the crocodile's skin.

Must go there sometime....

#1 is sensational #2, #3 and #5 aren't far behind. #4 doesn't grab me although I understand where you're coming from.

Also a reminder that our guidelines are 4 images per post. :wink:

#1 is a cracker in every way. Big fan of #3 as well.

#4 is the only one that doesn't really grab me.

Great shots.

My only comment would be to check the white balance. The first 4 seem a little yellow/brown. I realise the river is muddy, but the cast seems to be over everything.

#1 is superb. Love #3 also. The way you have framed and used the sidelighting really enhances the image. The perspective and the shadow image even down to the gaps in the teeth really make it work for me.
cheers

I really liked all of them but number 3 also made me gasp when I saw it. Almost makes you feel uneasy just to look at it. Great shots

Thanks guys for comments, I really appreciated yours opinions!


ripas - wrong!
All photos was taken by 18-70mm nikkor, it is hard to name this lens telephoto ;)

dawesy - on photo #4 I only wanted to show natural environment where I took these shots.

ATJ this was natural light and environment ambient light - and trust me there was exactly this color of light everywhere - just natural. I always take photos in RAW files, so I can easy manipulate the WB but here I left natural color cast for this place :)

Anyway - I also love this #3 shot, but this was really risky situation. Between me and this crocodile was maybe 1.2m distance. Probably few second more for better composition will be the last composition in my life.
Somebody will say - this gay lost head for photography ;) too strictly in this word meaning ;)
