Croc

Here is one of my favourite images of the year so far. It was taken here, http://www.butterflyhouse.co.uk/ I was very surprised to see the enclosure in the corner of the butterfly house. It was behind thick perspex and very hot and humid. Taken with the Sigma 105 macro at 1000ISO and 1/50th sec.

A nasty beast if I ever saw one. Well captured - a little dark, but focus is spot on the eye.

I wanted to portray a dark menacing predatory feel to the shot.

And I think you succeeded well

The only safe place to view these is behind a screen be it thick perspex, or glass.

I've seen large salt water crocs in Kakadu Northern Territory Australia, while fishing for Barramundi.

I do not recommend getting too close!

Kindest regards,

I agree, I was literally a metre from this and really appreciated the perspex.

Very cool shot, and especially considering it was shot through perspex. I love the eye of this beastie.

Stunning image - one of those where you take a second or two to work out what it is and then think wow! I particularly like the fact that the "business end" is out of focus but the eye is perfectly sharp.

Really good capture, I love the eye.
